It\u2019s in my DNA,\u201d Giuliani <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/05\/18\/andrew-giuliani-announces-bid-to-oust-cuomo-as-ny-governor\/?utm_source=NYPTwitter&#038;utm_medium=SocialFlow&#038;utm_campaign=SocialFlow\">told<\/a> The New Post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiuliani vs. Cuomo. Holy smokes,\u201d he amped up the potential face-off. \u201cIt\u2019s Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier. We can sell tickets at Madison Square Garden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be one of the epic showdowns in the state\u2019s history,\u201d he added, noting that he plans to run on a \u201cpro-business, pro-police, pro-school choice\u201d platform, according to the Post.<\/p>\n<p>Giuliani served for four years as a White House aide to former President Donald Trump; his father Rudy was Trump\u2019s personal lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know we can defeat Andrew Cuomo in 2022,\u201d the confident Guiliani said, noting that he\u2019s \u201cunfazed\u201d by any Republican primary competitors. \u201cI am going to be the 57th governor of New York.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe we have the best chance to win if I\u2019m the Republican candidate in November. It\u2019s not even close,\u201d he said, adding,\u00a0\u201cYou\u2019re going to have more enthusiasm in the race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo, once hailed as Hollywood and the media\u2019s COVID darling for his daily powerpoint presentations, has been plagued by a fatal nursing home scandal and an apparent attempted cover-up. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/covid-19-killed-14-of-new-yorks-nursing-home-population\">The Daily Wire\u2019s Ashe Schow<\/a> reported on the scandal in February:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"18.565714285714\">\n<p><em>[Cuomo\u2019s] March 25 mandate that nursing homes accept COVID-positive patients on short notice whether they were equipped to isolate and care for them or not is arguably one of the most disastrous policies anyone in the U.S. enacted during the pandemic. To avoid necessary scrutiny over the mandate, the Cuomo administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nursing-home-deaths-in-new-york-were-massively-undercounted-new-york-ag-finds\">undercounted<\/a> the deaths by including thousands of nursing home patient deaths with hospital deaths, since the patients were transferred to hospitals prior to their death.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Now the real numbers have been released (as much as you can trust the Cuomo administration after it lied about the number of nursing home deaths), and they reveal that nearly 13,000 people died in New York nursing homes due to COVID-19. The Empire Center, a non-partisan think tank, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.empirecenter.org\/publications\/the-states-revised-nursing-home-death-toll\/\">reported<\/a> that number accounts for 14% of New York\u2019s \u201cpre-pandemic nursing home population.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Giuliani called the scandal the\u00a0\u201cthe worst\u201d in New York\u2019s history.\u00a0\u201cIt was Andrew Cuomo\u2019s actions that killed 9,000 senior citizens in nursing homes in New York. He should have resigned,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCuomo <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/04\/10\/usns-comfort-javits-center-still-largely-empty-of-nyc-coronavirus-patients\/\">didn\u2019t use the USS Comfort ship or the Javits Center<\/a> to house seniors with COVID. He didn\u2019t want to give President Trump a political victory,\u201d Giuliani added.<\/p>\n<p>The Post noted that Rudy is on board with his son\u2019s bid, and \u201csome of his father\u2019s top longtime advisers are helping, including Jakes Menges and Helen Powers McBride, both of whom Andrew has known since childhood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/covid-19-killed-14-of-new-yorks-nursing-home-population\">How Andrew Cuomo\u2019s Failed COVID Plan Killed 14% Of NY\u2019s Nursing Home\u00a0Residents<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
