On the day New Yorkers head to the polls for the primaries, former mayor Rudy Giuliani endorsed Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.
“I’m Rudy Giuliani ... I endorse Donald Trump,” Giuliani said on CNN Tuesday morning.
Giuliani plans to vote for Trump in Tuesday’s New York Republican primary, but stressed he’s not part of the Trump campaign.
“I’m not a surrogate,” Giuliani said. “They haven’t asked me to do anything. I’m not involved in the campaign.”
Giuliani’s spokesman, Jake Menges, said on April 8 that the former mayor considers Trump “a friend,” and always believed he would back Trump over his rival, Ted Cruz.
