"Flee To Ohio": New York Billboard Battle Pits Ramaswamy Against Mamdani
NEW YORK CITY, JUL 14 – Vivek Ramaswamy's Super PAC spent $50,000 on a Times Square billboard contrasting his conservative platform with socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's policies.
- On July 14, 2025, a political action committee funded a digital billboard in Times Square urging residents of New York City to leave in response to Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral candidacy, suggesting they relocate to Ohio.
- The billboard campaign supports Republican Vivek Ramaswamy's Ohio gubernatorial run and frames Mamdani as a radical socialist threatening New York City's future.
- Mamdani, a 33-year-old Democratic Socialist and New York State Assemblyman since 2021, recently won the June 24 Democratic mayoral primary against Andrew Cuomo with 43.5% of first-round ballots.
- Ohio Republican strategist Andy Surabian said the ad cost about $50,000, and political analyst Tom Sutton noted the billboard aims more to boost Ramaswamy's profile than to cause actual migration.
- This advertisement illustrates intensifying political polarization as outside groups influence local elections while encouraging voter migration based on ideological divides.
