Biography of Rudy Giuliani

A New York leader

Rudy Giuliani

Rudolph “Rudy” Giuliani hopes to use the international fame he gained for his forceful yet sympathetic response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks to win the 2008 Republican presidential nomination.

A lawyer, businessman, and politician born and bred in New York, Giuliani has not conformed to a tightly scripted campaign. Instead, he has delivered a different speech at almost every stop, adapting his address to appeal to both the audience and his mood. His constant theme, however, has been national security, and he often recounts his poised handling of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.

Giuliani’s liberal views on social issues, including abortion, immigration, gay rights, and gun control, have alienated him somewhat from the party’s conservative base.
