How did it come to this? People who’ve studied Giuliani’s rise and fall
see his failed 2008 presidential run as a turning point.
Giuliani started as the front runner for the Republican nomination, capitalizing on his post-9/11 popularity. But he struggled in the
primaries amid GOP concerns about his past support for abortion rights,
gay rights and gun control, and questions about his personal life and
business ties to the Middle East.
For years following the race, Giuliani's political career appeared
over. After falling into a deep depression, he and his then-wife Judith decamped to Florida, where Trump put them up for a month in a bungalow
at his Mar-a-Lago estate, biographer Andrew Kirtzman said.
“Trump really took Giuliani under his wing at a very vulnerable
moment,” said Kirtzman, whose second Giuliani biography, “Giuliani: The Rise and Tragic Fall of America’s Mayor,” was published last year. “And then in 2016, Trump decided to run for president, and he needed
Giuliani and Giuliani needed Trump.”
