Andrew Giuliani, a former Trump White House staffer and the son of Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, told the Washington Examiner he plans to run for governor of New York in 2022.

Despite a flood of sexual misconduct allegations and a federal investigation into his handling of COVID-19 in nursing homes, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is still expected to run for reelection next year. A Cuomo-Giuliani matchup would set up a clash between two of the most prominent political families in New York.

"Outside of anybody named Trump, I think I have the best chance to win and take the state back," Giuliani told the Washington Examiner.

"I think I'm the right candidate, and this is the right time to help change New York State, and we've got a playbook that works," he added. "It just shows how terribly Cuomo has run the state into the ground and the truth is the assembly in State Senate is to blame as well."

1. aaaaahhhhhh

"Outside of Trump"

[FalloutShelter]

2. Race for NYS Gov. is shaping up to be

a real shit show.

[Yavin4]

41. Better than CA's governor recall shit show. n/t

[gldstwmn]

57. Caitlin Jenner is thinking of running

and is getting advice from Brad Parscale. Shit show.

[Frustratedlady]

3. Spare us! There isn't a tree large enough for "Andy" to fall far from Rudy...

Rudy has been fairly quiet over the last month or so. He'd crow from daylight to dawn if his son was running for gov. Let's not bring in another member of that family. Chances are, he isn't much brighter than his dad.

[George II]

8. I think he's been quiet because he knows he's in deep legal trouble.

[Frustratedlady]

12. It's never shut him up before. Did Dominion file a suit against him? That would shut him up.

This period of time should be noted on the calendar. I can't recall another time when he's been so quiet. Maybe he's tinting his hair.

[George II]

48. I think he's one of the parties in that $1.5B lawsuit.

[dchill]

4. Is somebody going to talk him down?

[Marcuse]

5. Special Golf Assistant to the President.

[Quakerfriend]

9. Yes, LOL!

Perhaps he is thinking that, as governor, he might be able to have some ‘influence’ over any charges that the state of NY may have brought against Rudy....

38. Ball washer

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Hilarious, nothing like the Trump White House for executive-level experience

I hear dissolving the legal system for grifters will be very popular in 2022

[Siwsan]

7. From his wiki page

He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Duke University, where he was recruited to play golf. Giuliani studied markets, management, and sociology, graduating in May 2009.[6][7] After college, Giuliani worked as a sales intern at CapRok Capital in Rye, New York.[6]

No offense to young Mr Giuliani, but those credentials, paired with his do nothing job at the White House, probably don't qualify him for much other than, oh, let's say his do nothing job with the trump* administration or work as a caddy at Mara Lago.

10. "Studied markets", i.e, worked as a comparison shopper for Kroger.

[Siwsan]

17. Hey, I guess I 'study markets', too! Every time the Aldi, Kroger and Meijer ads arrive.

Never thought of it that way. If I ever needed to bother with a CV, again, I'd most definitely add that little gem.

[George II]

20. We do it every week on Thursday.

[Me.]

15. He Was Recruited Then Kicked Off For Being A Jerk

and as I asked in another thread, is this why they've been trying so hard to get rid of Cuomo?

[bullimiami]

19. someone should take a close look at 'recruited to play golf'

people have now been prosecuted for abusing the athletic system to get their kids into school.

you can bet its not just "hollywood elite" gaming this and it didnt start recently.

[CurtEastPoint]

11. Maybe he'll pick his Dump Doppleganger as his VP. Gak

[Polybius]

16. I always thought his doppelganger was Gary Busy

So much so that I think his mom must have had an affair with him.

[CurtEastPoint]

23. Voila!

[jmbar2]

43. Quads

[George II]

21. Toss in Gary Busey and you have Huey, Dewey, and Louie, or Sleepy, Dopey, and Sneezy.

[mvpam]

50. Uncanny

The resemblance is uncanny! Complete doofus.

[MontanaMama]

51. Gum and Gummer...

[Talitha]

55. Oh that's positively wicked - - I love it!

[bullimiami]

13. good luck with that

running on nothing but a name.

[JenniferJuniper]

14. Not many can claim Chris Farley played them as a kid:

[George II]

18. That's great. David Letterman used to make fun of little Giuliani almost every week when they....

....were in the news.

This was one of his favorite segments:

[Auggie]

28. I was hoping someone would post this. Thanks.

[dalton99a]

30. +1

[geardaddy]

22. I was wondering if that was the kid that Farley played

LOL

[BradAllison]

24. Farley was amazing

The physical comedy is off the charts here.

Of course, they'd be tsk tsk'd now for making fun of this brat.

[Docreed2003]

25. Lol I remember watching that live!

So great!

[oldsoftie]

35. OMG I'm so old. I remember when Rudy was inaugurated.

[W T F]

26. So he can pardon Trump, when the State of New York charges him.

[Evolve Dammit]

27. Maybe he's running so if elected he can pardon his Dad?

[turbinetree]

29. Okay Andy, can I call you Andy, do you or do you not support your fucking father

standing on a podium on Jan 6, 2021 and having him ranting that it is just fine and dandy to go down to the US Capital and start a insurrection .....Fucking YES or Fucking NO..., what's you answer Andy....and no fucking gaslighting allowed ...........

[Ford_Prefect]

31. This guy was a stooge, and a tour guide for sports teams visiting the White House.

He's in it for the lifestyle and the perks. He'll fold at the first real question at a P.R. session. Something like: Why did Kelly pull his clearance and rescind his unescorted access to the White House? How does a tour guide get banned?

Yes, I know he was stooging for his dad and the Ukraine plot crowd. My point is he's going to have problems answering that question, and it will be asked.

He has no meaningful executive experience at all; Zero. Zip. Nada.

What I'd watch for is who turns up running his campaign.

[dalton99a]

32. Stupid crooks

[edhopper]

33. He has no idea how much New Yorkers

hate Trump and Giuliani.

[speak easy]

37. But how many NY Republicans are MAGA?

Would A.Giuliani win the nomination if Dumbf gives the go-ahead?

[edhopper]

53. Probably

but if you look at the last few GOP Governor candidates, it's scary how awful they are.

[Mr. Ected]

34. Let's Hunter Biden his ass

This whole nepotism thing works both ways.

[multigraincracker]

36. Caroline Giuliani, his sister might have a chance.

Sounds like she is not a fan of her dad or tRump. I'd bet she would for the Dem.

[Paper Roses]

39. Good grief, I'm depressed enough today.

To think that this could happen would send me over the edge if it ever came to be and if I live that long.

[iluvtennis]

40. He'll be a BIG LOSER

[keithbvadu2]

42. But he'll only run in the morning when he is still sober.

But he'll only run in the morning when he is still sober.

[cinematicdiversions]

44. I'd vote for his sister. NT

[IcyPeas]

45. is this their way of stealing/collecting money for "campaign" funds?

[rickyhall]

46. Ghoul for Gov, Dracula for Pres

[electric_blue68]

47. ugh. (my short take)

[pwb]

49. Tens of people would vote for him.

Go away with your stupidity Rudy.

[lonely bird]

52. OK, a couple of problems here

He thinks he’s the right candidate? Don’t think, you can only hurt the team

We’ve got a playbook that works? What, the “cut spending on anything and everything that helps people” playbook? Andy, dude, you can’t even make the weak-ass claim of being “America’s Mayor.” Just shut up and try to help your old man fend off the lawsuits.

[TygrBright]

54. Well, Cuomo needed a little good news, so that's nice. n/t

[BobTheSubgenius]

56. Well, if he has all the wisdom and reason of his father, it should be quite a show.

[Mawspam2]

58. No...

...lucky sperm should ever be elected to anything.

[olddad65]

59. Something new to fail at. P
