Donald Trump has known Andrew Giuliani since he “was in diapers,” as one close aide put it. The former president also has a trusty ally in Long Island Rep. Lee Zeldin, who sided with Trump in voting to overturn the 2020 elections.
Then there is former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, whose long friendship with Trump dates back to the former president’s local property and golf course north of Trump Tower in Manhattan.
Now Trump has a decision to make in his native New York: Does he endorse any of them ahead of the Republican gubernatorial primary on June 28?…
The decision is likely between Zeldin or Giuliani, and the working theory among those who speak to Trump is that he’ll probably sit out the primary and help the candidate who wins to try to retake the governor’s mansion in Albany — a seat Trump himself seriously considered running for in 2014.
