Overview

• The “Vivek Super PAC — Victors, not Victims” launched the ad on July 13 to support Ramaswamy’s Ohio governor bid, tapping $50,000 of its $17 million war chest for a week of Times Square exposure.
• The digital billboard urges “Worried About Zohran? Ohio Is Waiting For You!” framing Mamdani’s socialist platform against Ramaswamy’s pledge to safeguard freedom.
• VPAC strategist Andy Surabian described the ad as a confrontation between “socialist totalitarianism” and “American freedom” and invited concerned New Yorkers to relocate.
• Ramaswamy amplified the message on X with a post declaring “Capitalism defeats socialism. There’s a better way: move to Ohio.”
• Mamdani’s campaign has yet to comment on the billboard, which has drawn confusion and mockery from passersby.
