Months after telling Republicans to 'head down to Florida where you belong,' New York Governor Hochul says the state has to figure out how to stop people from leaving
In her New Year's Day inaugural speech following her 2022 election, New York Governor Kathy Hochul took aim at one of the biggest problems plaguing her state: people fleeing New York to escape the consequences of Democratic policies.
Her words were a far cry from her campaign rhetoric back in August, when she suggested that her political opponents, including Rep. Lee Zeldin, should "just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong, OK? You are not New Yorkers."
Many people over the last months and years have taken exactly this advice, fleeing New York's oppressive, anti-business climate and crime rates for the greener pastures of Florida and other states. According to the Census Bureau, New York had the highest population decline of any state in the union in 2022, while Florida had the highest rate of population growth.
Hochul lamented this trend in her speech, saying, "We must and will make our state safe. … We have to make our state more affordable. … And we must reverse the trend of people leaving our state in search of lower costs and opportunities elsewhere."
