Andrew Giuliani announces 2022 bid for New York governor
[NYPOST] Andrew Giuliani has dreams of turning next year’s gubernatorial race into another "Fight of the Century."

The son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani will announce Tuesday that he’s officially running for the Republican primary in 2022 — and is confident he can not only knock out veteran GOP competition but then go on to take out scandal-ridden Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo
...Dem dynastic governor of Noo Yawk, the son and heir of the late Mario Cuoma and formerly married to a Kennedy. Acclaimed for his leadership during the COVID epidemic, he managed the nation's highest corpse count while successfully hiding the returns. Among the nation's horniest politicians, he has about a dozen allegations of sexual harrassment and groping against him. Noo Yawk's politix being what they are, he is still hanging tough, waiting to ride it out....
"I’m a politician out of the womb. It’s in my DNA," Giuliani, 35, told The Post, referring to his childhood as the son of a larger than life Big Apple mayor.

"Giuliani vs. Cuomo. Holy smokes. Its Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier. We can sell tickets at Madison Square Garden," he said, referring to the famous 1971 heavyweight title prizefight.

Giuliani, 35, who served for four years as a White House aide to former President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
, insisted he is qualified to run — despite having never before run for a public office — and that he has the best chance to topple embattled three-term incumbent Cuomo.
PJ Media adds:
New York GOP Chairman Nick Langworthy responded to Andrew Giuliani’s announcement in a statement. "Rudy will forever be known as the man who transformed New York City and Andrew can be the one to do it statewide," Langworthy said. "New York is broken and in need of the type of overhaul that the Giuliani Administration ushered in during the 1990s. The corruption, deadly mismanagement, and incompetence of the Cuomo Administration has energized our Party from the ground up, as evidenced by the number of accomplished New Yorkers who have stepped forward to run."

Langworthy stopped short of a full-fledged endorsement. "We look forward to a spirited discussion about who can best move our state forward," he said. "But one thing is certain: we are united in our shared mission to save our state."

Before the young politician can face Andrew Sonny Cuomo, he must survive the GOP primary. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.)
...Member of House Financial Services & Foreign Affairs Committees. Lieutenant Colonel in Army Reserve...
of Long Island declared his candidacy last month.

The big question in this stand-off is which candidate might earn the coveted endorsement of Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
. Andrew Giuliani worked in the Trump White House as a special assistant to the president and associate director of the Office of Public Liaison. Lee Zeldin was a stalwart supporter of Trump throughout his presidency.

While Cuomo still faces potential impeachment, both candidates seem convinced that the winner of the GOP primary will ultimately face the scandal-plagued governor. In fact, this may actually be the Republican Party’s best chance to win the governorship.
