After tangling with Robert Mueller and pushing for investigations into all involved in the Trump-Russia “witch hunt,” Rudy Giuliani is now gearing up for a vicious battle against 2020 Democratic candidates.
Giuliani will meet with Trump and his 2020 campaign over the next few weeks to discuss pivoting his efforts into this new role, which he told Politico he expects to include making policy and political connections.
We’ll see where they have holes and where they need help,” said Giuliani, adding “I’m available to do a lot of it.”
While Giuliani has served as an effective personal attorney to Trump, some close to the Trump reelection effort suggested to Politico that Giuliani could hinder the campaign.
“I imagine not all of Rudy’s ideas are brilliant ones, but the vast majority are and I’ll take the good with the bad,” said former Trump campaign aide Michael Caputo, who met with the president last month in Washington DC. Caputo otherwise “offered gushing praise for Giuliani coming out of the Mueller investigation,” primarily for keeping Trump out of a sit-down interview with the special counsel that many Trump allies viewed as a “perjury trap.”
“Because so many people realize the vital role he played in defending the president through the Russia hoax, I think his surrogacy would appeal across the entire base,” Caputo added. “And I think everybody wants to hear from him. In fact, I can’t think of one demographic in the column of the president that would not want to hear from him.”
Perhaps most importantly, President Trump loves hanging out with Rudy, and vice-versa.
“The president is most effective when he’s in a great mood and he’s having fun on the campaign trial and Rudy adds to that,” a current Trump campaign aide told Politico, adding “I think he has the potential to be very effective in certain circumstances.” That said, the aide added “He also has the potential to be unhelpful at times.”
