Andrew Giuliani announces bid to run for governor of New York in 2022
CNN
Andrew Giuliani, son of former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, has announced his candidacy for governor of New York in 2022, he told CNN on Tuesday.
Giuliani will run for the GOP nomination in his bid to take over the position from embattled Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, who has been ensnared in scandals involving sexual harassment allegations and information-sharing pertaining to nursing home Covid-19 deaths. But Giuliani will face a steep uphill battle in the heavily Democratic state, and his candidacy could help hand another win to the party as his proximity to former President Donald Trump would likely be seen as a liability in a state where the former President is widely unpopular. While Giuliani is running as a Republican, he tells CNN, "we're running for all New Yorkers."More Related News
