Donald Trump, Jr. voiced concerns about Zohran Mamdani potentially becoming mayor of New York City, stating that the election could necessitate a failure for recovery. He predicted a mass exodus to Florida if Mamdani is elected, underscoring that 18,000 people finance 80% of the city's tax revenue and could relocate. Trump Jr. commented on the implications for New York, suggesting hitting rock bottom might be required for meaningful change, reflecting his status as a lifelong New Yorker who contributed to the city’s development.
"If what possibly could happen in November happens, I mean, it's scary and, you know, perhaps that's what New York needs... Maybe it has to fail to be able to come back, to be able to, you know, put the nail in the coffin of these ideas that have failed so many times around the world."
"In New York, I think the stat I remembered, it was from like 10 years ago, but it was something like 18,000 people pay 80% of New York City's city tax... This new mayor could possibly be the greatest marketing campaign for Florida ever to exist."
"But what happens to New York then? And as a lifelong New Yorker, as someone who grew up here... that's a scary notion, but perhaps it's exactly what America needs. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom, and I think if this communist mayor gets elected, rock bottom is what New York's going to see."
