Andrew Giuliani, the son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani who served as a special assistant to former President Donald Trump, is teasing a run at Andrew Cuomo’s governor’s seat in Albany.
The younger Giuliani told the Washington Examiner that he is “heavily considering” a gubernatorial run in New York in 2020 to challenge the embattled Cuomo, who has been under fire for months amid multiple scandals.
During his interview, Giuliani explained that Republicans - who have not won a New York gubernatorial election in nearly two decades - “have a very, very real chance to win,” saying that he would have the best shot to win “outside of anybody named Trump.”
