New Yorkers are preparing to flee for Palm Beach, Florida, as Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani seems poised to win and raise taxes on the rich, Fox News reported on Monday.
Mamdani, a Democratic socialist running on a platform of taxing wealthy New Yorkers, garnered the support of 43.8% of likely voters polled — about ten points ahead of independent candidate and former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, according to a Suffolk University poll released on Monday. Miami-based Fox News reporter Danamarie McNicholl said on “America Reports” that Palm Beach realtors assert “there’s a new sense of urgency for wealthy New York buyers.”
