Texas Governor Greg Abbott has said he would “impose a 100 percent tariff” on New Yorkers moving to Texas.

“After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC,” the Republican wrote on X on Monday night.

Abbott’s post came on the eve of New York City’s mayoral election, in which Democrat Zohran Mamdani is the frontrunner. He is facing former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo—who is running as an independent after Mamdani emerged victorious in the Democratic primary in June—and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

    A guy cut me off in traffic today, so I tariffed the hell out him at the next light.

    That’s what this idiot sounds like.
