Gov. Cuomo is making another pitch Monday for Republican heavy hitters to back his re-election campaign.
Home Depot founder Ken Langone is hosting a “Republicans for Cuomo” event at the Harvard Club at 8:30 a.m. Cuomo will address the well-heeled Wall Street and real-estate titans and field questions.
David Malpass, who ran in the 2010 Republican US Senate primary, also was involved in planning the breakfast, sources said. Cuomo attended a similar event last month.
The Cuomo campaign wants to woo Republican backers to keep their big bucks from going to the eventual GOP nominee.
Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino is expected to soon throw his hat into the ring to be the GOP candidate for governor. And Donald Trump has been making noise about a possible run.
Cuomo stirred controversy last month for attacking “extreme conservatives” who are “right-to-life, pro-assault weapons anti-gay’’ and suggesting “they have no place in the state of New York.”
