New York City voters could see a familiar name atop the 2021 mayoral ballot.
Andrew Giuliani, the son of former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, told the New York Post on Saturday that he is toying with the idea of jumping into the race.
“I am certainly thinking about it. It’s something that a bunch of people that I trust have approached me with,” Andrew Giuliani said. “It’s been terrible to see over the last few years how the city has spiraled. I am afraid if the right candidate doesn’t win in 2021, four more years of de Blasio’s policies will remind us of the 80s.”
Giuliani has formed a strong relationship with President Trump, whom he has worked for as a public liaison assistant since 2017. Giuliani said that although he is considering a run for mayor of New York City, his focus in the near-term is on helping the president win reelection.
“I am trying to make sure the president gets over the finish line on November 3rd, and then, right after that, my focus is going to be on how we can save New York City again,” Giuliani said.
Giuliani’s father is remembered as a tough-on-crime mayor during his two terms in office spanning 1994 to 2001.
