Rudy Giuliani's daughter, Caroline, lamented her relationship with her father and voiced her "adamant support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz" while cautioning what could happen if Donald Trump is re-elected on Nov. 5 in a recent essay for Vanity Fair.
Giuliani discussed the pain of "watching [her] dad's life crumble since he joined forces with Trump" before lambasting the former president's stance on key issues, including reproductive rights, the economy, and foreign and environmental policy. "...We need experienced, sane, and fundamentally decent leaders who will fight for us instead of against us," Giuliani wrote.
She then compared accepting news of her dad representing Trump to overcoming an eating disorder and "other manifestations of anxiety and depression."
"I even told my dad that I already felt ashamed of my last name whenever I saw headlines connecting him with Trump, and that this escalation would only deepen that feeling," Giuliani wrote.
Despite going on to reveal she spent most of her life "wishing [her father] had less power," the former Associate Attorney General's daughter said she didn't want it to happen the way that it did before calling Trump "the worst thing that ever happened to my dad, to my family, and to our nation's modern history." Trump's former lawyer was recently disbarred from practicing law in the nation's capital because of his role in trying to overturn the 2020 election.
Giuliani also noted that Trump's "stacked" Supreme Court means "no checks on his power whatsoever."
"A 34-time convicted felon who's been found liable for sexual abuse, tries to steal elections, and demeans people based on their race, sexuality, disability status, and gender falls remarkably short of the bar we must set for ourselves as a country," Giuliani wrote, adding that our other option is "a life-long public servant who has spent her career upholding justice and fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves."
She then called Harris's ascendance to Democratic presidential nominee "a literal manifestation of citizens' voices being heard." Giuliani said she's voting for Harris because "she is the only candidate who cares about my rights as a woman" and also "understands the grave danger of climate change," which Trump calls a hoax.
While discussing Trump's stance on women's reproductive rights, Giuliani turned to Project 2025, which rejects that abortion is health care. The former NYC mayor's daughter called Project 2025 "a dictator's playbook," allowing Trump to be "much more effective a second time around." "...I don't see how our world can survive it," she added.
Toward the end of her essay, Giuliani doubled down on her support for Kamala, writing that her "intelligence, and fortitude to lead us to a brighter future, and seeing her hold Trump accountable in the debate only further confirms her ability to defend us from our most dangerous enemies, domestic and foreign."
Giuliani also reminded voters that because we live in a two-party system, "no candidate will appeal to every voter on every issue," before offering a warning for anyone who remains undecided.
"If for whatever reason you choose to sit this election out or lodge a protest-vote for a third-party candidate, make no mistake: you are voting for Donald Trump."
This isn't the first time Caroline is voting against her father's party. She endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2020.
