Rudy Giuliani's son announces run for New York governor
CBSN
Andrew Giuliani, the son of former President Trump's personal attorney and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, announced on Tuesday that he is running for governor of New York. It could set up a battle with incumbent Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has been in office since 2010.
"Like my parents before me, New York is in my blood," Giuliani said in a video announcing his campaign. "I've been raised through New York. I know who we are, what we can be and where we need to go." In an interview with the New York Post published Tuesday morning, Giuliani said that his agenda will focus on supporting the business community, law enforcement and school-choice. He sharply criticized Cuomo's handling of COVID-19, including the governor's nursing home policy from the early days of the pandemic. He compared a potential matchup with Cuomo to the famous 1971 heavyweight title prize fight between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.More Related News
