Donald Trump has canceled his plan to attend a major Republican fundraiser in Albany next week as he considers a run for governor.
New York state Republican Party spokesman David Laska said Trump told the party of his decision late Tuesday.
The event scheduled for Tuesday will highlight the party's "rising stars" and is headlined by Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino. Astorino is also considering a run for governor against Democratic Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo after Astorino won re-election in November in the county dominated by Democratic voters.
"When Mr. Trump realized … this event was a long-planned salute to Mr. Astorino, he demurred," said Trump spokesman Michael Caputo. "He feels it is inappropriate for him to attend and disrupt an evening devoted to Mr. Astorino _ in his perspective, that's not a classy move. Instead, he is looking at other GOP events upstate."
