ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will deliver his third inaugural address at Ellis Island on New Year's Day.
The Democrat announced his plans on Tuesday, calling Ellis Island a ``fitting'' location to begin a new term that he says will be focused on fighting for New Yorkers and setting a ``progressive example'' for the rest of the nation.
Ellis Island was the nation's busiest immigration station for decades, welcoming millions of immigrants from around the world. Cuomo calls it an ``enduring symbol'' of America's core values of hope and opportunity.
Cuomo won a third term last month, beating Republican Marc Molinaro and three third-party candidates.
The speech's location is likely to encourage speculation that Cuomo may run for president, though the 60-year-old has said he has ruled out the idea.
