Get ready for Andrew vs. Andrew.
Andrew Giuliani, a former Trump aide and son of Rudy Giuliani, is considering running for governor in New York next year, he told The Post on Wednesday.
Giuliani would go head-to-head with Governor Andrew Cuomo, the three-year-old Democrat, currently mired in a torrent of scandals involving sexual misconduct and his handling of residences.
“Yes, I’m considering running for governor,” the 35-year-old Republican said. “Republicans have a chance to reclaim New York. Absolutely.”
A Giuliani candidacy would pit two of New York’s most prominent political families against each other in the 2022 government race.
Cuomo is the son of former governor Mario Cuomo, who was elected for three terms, while Giuliani’s father, Rudy, was mayor of New York City from 1994 to 2001.
Giuliani criticized Andrew Cuomo for his crime-making policy and predicted that his impending tax hike on the rich would further expel residents from the state.
“We’ve seen what Cuomo’s leadership has achieved in New York: a massive exodus to Florida,” he said. “Cuomo and the state assembly and the Senate are encouraging residents and businesses to leave with these tax increases.
“We need a governor who encourages people to come to New York, not to leave.”
Under the Trump administration, Giuliani worked as director of the Public Liaison Office.
Young Giuliani said he would meet soon in Albany with Republican Party State President Nick Langworthy and county Republican leaders across the state. He was inspired to consider running after GOP donors asked him to step up, he said.
The aspiring police officer also said that if he ran, he would be looking for “Rudy Giuliani’s playbook,” a gesture to his father’s zero-tolerance stance on crime and a reputation for keeping taxes and spending.
“It worked for New York City,” Andrew Giuliani said.
He also criticized his potential opponent for having sold left-wing lawmakers when it comes to state budgets yet to be approved to avoid being indicted.
“He will do anything to hold on to power and he has shown it,” he said.
