Longtime Fox News host Sean Hannity has joined the migratory pattern of conservatives fleeing Democratic enclaves for freer, low-tax areas of the country.
The longtime Fox News anchor announced on his SiriusXM show Tuesday that he is “done” with New York and will shortly be moving to the conservative bastion known as Florida where Republicans like Governor Ron DeSantis and U.S. Senators Rick Scott (R-FL) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) closely hew to his values.
“I’ve been threatening now to do this for quite a while, but we are now beginning our first broadcast from my new home and that is in the free state of Florida,” he said on his iHeartRadio show on Tuesday. “I am out. I am done. I’m finished.”The Hill reports that Hannity “feels a lot better” about finally making his decision to leave the Big Apple, given new taxes implemented by Democrats like Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul. Florida, by comparison, has cut taxes in recent years and does not place a state tax on individual income.
“And finally for the first time that I can think of in my adult life, I actually have representatives in the state that I’m living in that share my values,” Hannity said.
“And if anything, I’m probably late and behind the curve and many others have made the move beforehand and there’s not a single person that I know, that made a move like this that is not happy that they’ve made it,” he said.
