Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been awarded a new title, courtesy of the Sunshine State. <\/p>\n

The Florida Chamber of Commerce named Mamdani “Economic Developer of the Year” and honored him with a billboard in Times Square. <\/p>\n

The digital billboard flashes a photo of the mayor for a few seconds with the message: “Thanks for the jobs!”<\/p>\n

“We wanted to thank him for the jobs, the companies, the people that they’re pushing out of New York \u2014 and a lot of them are coming to Florida,” Florida Chamber of Commerce CEO Mark Wilson told Fox News Digital. <\/p>\n

The digital billboard was first spotted on Monday and was still in rotation with more than a dozen other advertisements on Tuesday at 43rd Street and Broadway. <\/p>\n
