Times Square ad takes aim at 'radical socialist' Mamdani, urges NYers to flee to Ohio

Forget Florida — a new Times Square ad debuting Monday will encourage New Yorkers to “flee” Zohran Mamdani and move to Ohio, The Post has learned.

The digital billboard is funded by “Vivek Super PAC — Victors, not Victims,” which backs Vivek Ramaswamy’s Republican gubernatorial bid in the state of Ohio.

The $50,000 investment in this iconic tourist area positions Ramaswamy, age 39, as a counterpart to the 33-year-old socialist who recently won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor. Both individuals, who are of Indian descent, are emerging as prominent figures in their respective political parties.

“Worried About Zohran? Ohio Is Waiting For You!” the ad says.

Andy Surabian, VPAC’s chief strategist, stated to The Post that New Yorkers who have concerns should consider relocating to a state “that is about to elect a conservative trailblazer committed to liberty and prosperity for all.”

“While Mamadani will further crush New York City with his job-killing socialist tyranny, Vivek is ready to unleash freedom, supercharge the American dream and make Ohio a state of excellence,” Surabian said.

“We put this billboard up because we couldn’t think of two politicians in the country that represent such wildly different paths for the future of our nation. The Mamdani path of socialist totalitarianism versus the Vivek path of American freedom,” he continued. 

“For those New Yorkers who have had enough, freedom and prosperity are waiting for you in Ohio.”

The billboard is set to remain on display in Times Square all week.

Despite its lower cost of living, Ohio was only the 20th most popular state for New Yorkers to move to as of 2022 data from the Census Bureau.

The pro-Ramaswamy super PAC has raised $17 million to support his 2026 run for governor.

The Ohio businessman emerged from obscurity with his candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. At one point, he was running third in the polls, which were led handily by President Trump.

There’s little public polling ahead of the contests for the governor’s mansion next November, but an April survey found Ramaswamy leading the GOP field by a massive 50 percentage points.

Mamdani’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the billboard.
