Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean is mostly sunny on TV — unless your name is Andrew Cuomo.
She’s become known as a fearless critic of the New York governor — and a growing number of Republicans in the state are chattering about the possibility the weather woman could credibly challenge the Democratic pitbull should he seek a fourth term in 2022.
Her former Fox News colleague Megyn Kelly said Dean is a fighter who has survived home invasion, sexual harassment, multiple sclerosis and the death of both in-laws from COVID.
“Unlike the poser currently in the governor’s mansion, she really IS ‘New York tough,’ whip smart, and we can trust her. She’s got my vote,” Kelly told The Post.
Though not generally known as one of the cable network’s fiery opinions hosts, Dean, 50, became a single-issue tornado after her in-laws died from coronavirus while living in New York nursing homes last year.
Dean places the blame squarely on Cuomo’s now-infamous mandate forcing nursing homes to accept patients who’d tested positive for the deadly virus. A total of 6,326 COVID-positive seniors were moved into nursing facilities between March and May 2020, according to a report from the state Department of Health. The elderly were among the most vulnerable populations.
