Senator Ashley Moody of Florida posted a funny tweet about New Yorkers fleeing Mamdani's horrific policies and heading to Florida.

Florida always has haters because it's just that good, so Senator McCormick of Pennsylvania had to jump in.
Florida’s nice. Pennsylvania is closer. Head west on I-80. https://t.co/O6lgy0TqYD

Not one to ever tolerate any Florida slander, Governor Ron DeSantis added his own take.
Florida has more Wawa stores. https://t.co/4YNcChoiNO

And that's important.
Also more Buccee’s.

Also, very important.

One word...Publix.

If you are a Floridian, you know Publix is the best place for groceries and for subs. It's an institution for Floridians. Also, it's run about every other grocery store out of the state so unless you want to shop at Walmart or Target or the occasional Aldis, Publix is the place to be.
C’mon Ron. Don’t tell ‘em that.

PA is a lovely place for those New Yorkers to relocate. pic.twitter.com/5RymGuVbRM
I also agree with this take. I used to be one of those people who welcomed the fleeing throngs to my home state. Now, we are just too crowded. The traffic is bad and there are too many Yankees trying to make here what they left up North. No, thanks.
We encourage all NY’ers to move to Pennsylvania. Why are you trying to ruin this??

Do you have Sheetz though?

We do not. Probably best to stay in Pennsylvania.

Too funny! 🤣 @RonDeSantis but at least not everything in Pennsylvania is trying to kill you (alligators, pythons, venomous critters, fire ants, hurricanes). Florida is a beautiful state. Nice place to visit but I’ll PA every time 😎
The crime rate in Philly tells a different story, but happy to hear Robert is a Pennsylvania guy. One less body in Florida. It gets really hot here.
Dang it. This is the most compelling argument for Florida I’ve ever heard. https://t.co/KUtQp4BR9z

Our Governor is really good at making our state look hospitable for families and business. It is a great place. We just need to keep that a bit of a secret from here on out.

I need this picture to hang in my home.
TIL there’s Wawas in FL. Apparently real geese fly to FL as well. I don’t know why I never associated the two. Huh! https://t.co/fxftJiKiff

There are actually lots of them. Floridians are fans of the WaWa.
Sir, my parents have lived in PVB for 25 years and LOVE you. I just moved to Jupiter with my wife and 1yr old. We are so worried about the state after you leave. Can you please help find a quality successor!!!
— Conor Hayden (@ConorHayden92) April 17, 2026
We are all worried about that. Choose wisely Florida friends. There are big, big cowboy boots to fill.
