GOP Rep. Lee Zeldin urged by Trump allies to run for governor of NY amid Cuomo scandals
Fox News
Trump allies are quietly rallying their support behind Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin, encouraging him to mount a GOP gubernatorial bid against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2022, Fox News has learned.
While Zeldin has not made a final decision about whether or not to get into the race, and while Trump has not made an endorsement, sources close to the former president said that Zeldin would be "a very strong candidate to help Republicans in 2022." "I can think of no other candidate who doesn’t have the last name of Trump that mega-supporters are more excited about potentially running for governor in 2022 than Lee Zeldin," Trump senior adviser Jason Miller told Fox News.More Related News
