Rudy Giulianiif son, Andrew, who worked as a top assistant for Donald Trump, said he was “strongly considering” running for governor of New York during the 2022 election.
“I’m going to run,” he told the Washington Examiner in a April 7 story.
‘Apart from someone named Trump, I think I have the best chance of winning the state and taking it back, and I think there’s an opportunity in 2022 with a wounded Democratic candidate, whether it’s going to be the government . [Andrew] Cuomo, whether it will be radical now [Attorney General] Letitia James, whether it’s going to be a lieutenant governor with no name, I think there’s a very, very real chance of winning, ‘Andrew Giuliani remarked.
The current governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, is in his third term and it is thought that he will be a candidate again. He is the son of the former governor of New York Mario Cuomo, who held the office for three terms.
The Washington Examiner story about Andrew Giuliani’s potential run considered this race a ‘Titanic battle of New York families, a liberal-conservative battle that the state has not seen years ago’, given Cuomo’s lineage and the fact that Giuliani as New York’s mayor and lawyer to Trump.
If the son of an American lawyer, ‘America’s mayor’, sticks to his word, it would not be so surprising, and probably not all the ‘Titanic’, since Cuomo has recently been embroiled in several damaging scandals.
Reports have shown that top Cuomo assistants have rewritten a report from health officials to conceal the death of Covid-19 as a nursing home – and to secure its reputation as a strong, effective leader. Moreover, Cuomo is accused by many women of sexual harassment.
Federal authorities have launched an investigation into Cuomo’s handling of nursing homes during the pandemic, including whether he and his senior staff members gave the U.S. Department of Justice false figures about deaths in these facilities, according to The New York Times.
The Attorney General is investigating the allegations of sexual harassment, and New York lawmakers have launched an investigation into whether they should bring articles of indictment against him, Politico reports.
