On Tuesday, Fox News host Sean Hannity revealed that he had moved from New York to Florida due to the state's implacable liberal politics and its elected officials embrace of big government.
Hannity shared he's feeling happy and content since relocating to a state known for its good weather and increased opportunity.
Besides the mental health and vitamin D benefits of increased sunlight, the conservative host attributes his improved state of mind to the policies of Florida's statewide elected officials – all of whom are Republicans.
Hannity revealed the “breaking news” to his audience on Tuesday's edition of his popular radio show, which was broadcast from his new studio in the Sunshine State:
If anybody is listening to this program for any length of time, been threatening now to do this for quite a while. But we are now beginning our first broadcast of my new home, and that is in the free state of Florida. I am out. I am done. I'm finished. New York, New York. Goodbye. Florida. Florida. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. But it's great to be here. And I will tell you, one of the things that I was told either before, Linda, but feeling good tonight, by the way, and I'm that because she entertains everybody. I bet she was entertaining every day working or not working. And no, she worked a number of days. But and she's such a good entertainer and such a great host is that anyone would want her back as soon as we can. I was told even before this that it just it just the time was right. I was able to put the final exclamation points on what needed to be done. And here I am.
And finally, for the first time that I can think of in my adult life, I actually have representatives in in the state that I'm living in that share my values. I have a governor by the name of Ron DeSantis and Senators Marco Rubio and Senator Rick Scott. So I'm feeling a lot better about it, and I'm not going to go through the whys. The how comes because it's obvious this migration out of the blue states with high taxes, burdensome regulation, high crime, horrible school districts is real. And if anything, I'm probably late and behind the curve and and many others have made the move beforehand.
According to census data, Florida gained almost 1.1 million residents between 2020 and 2023, while California experienced three years of population decline.
