The Hill had more details:
Fox News host Sean Hannity announced Tuesday he moved from New York to Florida, a state he says has elected officials who “share 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 Tuesday. “I am out. I am done. I’m finished.”
Hannity said his move to the Sunshine State was motivated by the conservative policies and elected officials in the state, pointing to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Florida Sens. Marco Rubio (R) and Rick Scott (R) as examples. He said he already “feels a lot better” about his decision to relocate to Florida full-time.
“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.
He claimed that he is one of many who have moved from Democratic-led states to Republican-led states such as Florida. DeSantis has touted Florida as one of the fastest-growing states while on the campaign trail for the White House, often suggesting that people are moving from blue states including New York and California to Florida.
Fox News reports Florida is racking up serious migration wins as people flee Blue States:
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, The South, the nation’s most populous region, is the only region to have maintained population growth throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The growth is largely attributed to migration, with 706,266 people added via net domestic migration. 500,000 were also added via international migration.
The West also grew in 2023, with 137,299 people added this year. However, the population of the Northeast has continued to decline this year, with a net loss of 43,330 people. It is worth noting that the number is much lower than the Northeast’s massive population loss in 2022 (down 216,576).
Overall, 42 states and the District of Columbia saw their populations increase in 2022. However, the growth was significantly higher in some states versus others.
“U.S. migration returning to pre-pandemic levels and a drop in deaths are driving the nation’s growth,” said Kristie Wilder, a demographer in the Population Division at the Census Bureau. “Although births declined, this was tempered by the near 9% decrease in deaths. Ultimately, fewer deaths paired with rebounding immigration resulted in the nation experiencing its largest population gain since 2018.”
California was the biggest loser of 2023, with the state shedding 75,423 people.
