In a monumental shift away from a high-tax, high-crime, and overregulated blue state, Fox News Channel’s prominent host, Sean Hannity, has announced his decision to bid farewell to New York and embrace the Sunshine State of Florida. Hannity’s move underscores his commitment to living in a state that upholds individual rights and conservative values.During a recent broadcast of his show, Hannity declared this momentous transition, proudly stating that it marked the inauguration of his Florida-based studio and a permanent departure from New York. In his own words, “If you’ve been following this program, you know I’ve been contemplating this move for a while, and now we’re launching our first broadcast from the free state of Florida. I’m out, done, finished with New York. It’s Florida’s turn now.”
Hannity also expressed his contentment with residing in a state led by officials who share his values, heralding Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Marco Rubio, and Senator Rick Scott as examples. He remarked, “For the first time in my adult life, I have representatives in my state who truly align with my principles. It’s a refreshing change.”
While Hannity refrained from delving into specifics, he alluded to the reasons behind his move—namely, the burdensome taxes, rising crime rates, and stifling regulations that have plagued his former home state. He emphasized, “I won’t dwell on the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ because it’s evident that the exodus from high-tax, overly regulated, crime-ridden blue states is a reality. If anything, I might be a bit late to the party, as many others have already made this wise choice.”Former President Trump, who made a similar move to Florida in 2019, took to Twitter to share his sentiments on the matter. Trump stated, “While I have a deep love for New York and its people, my family and I have decided to make Palm Beach, Florida, our permanent residence. It’s unfortunate that despite paying substantial city, state, and local taxes, I’ve received unfavorable treatment from political leaders in both the city and state. This decision wasn’t easy, but it’s in the best interest of all. New York will always hold a special place in my heart.”
The relocation of prominent conservative figures like Hannity and Trump underscores Florida’s growing allure as a haven for those who value limited government, lower taxes, and individual liberties. As the state continues to attract individuals who seek refuge from the challenges of blue states, it cements its reputation as a bastion of conservative values.
