US President Donald Trump has claimed that residents of New York City will “flee communism” following the election of progressive Democrat Zohran Mamdani as mayor.
Speaking at the America Business Forum in Miami on Wednesday, Trump told supporters that Democrats had “installed a communist” to lead the nation’s largest city and said Florida would soon become “a refuge for those fleeing communism in New York.”
Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, was elected on Tuesday after campaigning on affordable housing, public ownership of utilities, and wealth taxes. His platform has drawn both praise from progressives and criticism from opponents who label his policies as radical. Trump’s remarks in Miami appeared to target the city’s large Cuban and Venezuelan exile communities, many of whom left countries with socialist governments.
Political observers note that Trump frequently uses “communism” as a rhetorical attack against Democrats. During the 2024 campaign, he described Kamala Harris’s proposal for grocery price controls as “full Communist.”
Following the election of Zohran Mamdani as New York City’s mayor, polls suggest that up to one million residents and numerous businesses are considering leaving the city due to his progressive policies.
Polls show 9% of New York City residents plan to leave immediately, while another 25% are thinking about it.
1% of top earners in NYC pays 52% of taxes.

Meanwhile the U.S. Supreme Court is currently weighing whether Donald Trump’s tariffs—many of which were imposed under emergency powers—were illegal, and if so, the government may be required to refund up to $1 trillion to importers.
A coalition of small businesses and 12 Democratic-led states argue that Trump’s tariffs—imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)—exceeded presidential authority.
There is currently an 18% chance that the US Supreme Court will rule Trumps tariffs as being legal to bypass Congress.
