Ron DeSantis Has Hilarious Response to What He Would Do With NYC Refugees After Election

Well, folks, Zohran Mamdani’s win in the NYC mayoral race has sparked a firestorm, and Ron DeSantis is bringing the laughs—and a bit of truth—amid the chaos. With Mamdani’s socialist victory sealed on November 4, 2025, a Daily Mail poll warns of a potential exodus: 765,000 New Yorkers might “definitely” leave, and another 2 million are considering it. That’s a population the size of Washington DC or Seattle packing up, likely heading to red states like Florida, where cost of living is lower and jobs are plentiful—echoing the COVID-era flight from Andrew Cuomo’s draconian lockdowns.

DeSantis, never one to mince words, has been sounding the alarm for months. Back in July, after Mamdani clinched the Democratic primary, he told Sean Hannity, “We’ve absorbed a lot of people over the years… I think this guy’s policies, soup to nuts, are probably the most radical left that I’ve ever seen of a major party candidate in a big jurisdiction.” On Election Day, he doubled down on X, quipping about the influx: “I might have to charge an entry tax or something because I don’t know if we can handle all the folks fleeing his mess.”

Even funnier, he bantered with an X user, half-joking about rerouting NYC refugees to southern Connecticut if needed.

This hits a nerve for red-state conservatives who’ve watched blue-state transplants bring their woke ideology south, driving up costs and pushing progressive policies that ruin what made these places livable. Think California’s exodus to Texas, where housing prices soared and mask mandates crept in. The fear here is real—folks fleeing Mamdani’s rent freezes and $30 minimum wage might turn Florida blue if they don’t leave their politics behind. I get it; if you’re fed up with blue-state chaos, don’t drag it to my beloved North Carolina or any other red haven. Reasonable debate’s fine, but the far-left’s beyond that now—sorry, not sorry.

DeSantis’ humor masks a serious point: Mamdani’s win could trigger a migration mess. New Yorkers, if you come, leave the socialism at the border—red states aren’t your reset button.
