Rudy Giuliani may not be opposed to running for mayor again in the 2025 election, sources report, a prospect that has been raised as he faces legal repercussions due to his false accusations of electoral fraud in the 2020 election.
As a result of the legal ruling, Giuliani was ordered to pay a defamation award of nearly $150 million to the two Georgia election workers he accused of fraud, which also resulted in his losing his law licenses in New York and Washington DC.
Last Tuesday, Giuliani’s book, The Biden Crime Family: The Blueprint for their Prosecution, was released in the US, in which he targeted the Biden and Harris administration with the imminent election, comparing them to fascists. Yet, these accusations have been redirected to Trump and himself, with many people, including former members of Trump’s team, saying he fits the label.
Mark Milley, formerly the chair of the joint chiefs of staff under Trump, and John Kelly, another retired general who was Trump’s second White House chief of staff, said the former president was “fascist to the core,” while speaking to reporter Bob Woodward.
Last week, while giving a speech in DC, Vice-President Harris said: “It is clear from John Kelly’s words that Donald Trump is someone who, I quote, ‘certainly falls into the general definition of fascists’, who, in fact, vowed to be a dictator on day one and vowed to use the military as his personal militia to carry out his personal and political vendettas.”
In his book, Giuliani also targeted President Biden regarding his age and competency. However, the former mayor, 80, has also faced similar criticisms addressing his capability to serve the public.
When reached by the Post on Sunday, Giuliani , said, “I’m not going to say never, ever, ever,” to the prospect of another mayoral run. Still, he said, as of now, “I’m not running for mayor.”
“Everyone running for mayor looks like they’re from Red China. They don’t look American,” he said. “I’m concerned about the city becoming a Democratic dictatorship,” ironically disregarding the oxymoronic nature of his statement.
Despite his disbarments in multiple states and federal indictments, Giuliani has alleged the actions taken against him were politically motivated, saying, “I have never been disciplined by the bar association and my record is unblemished.”
