Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s daughter said she’s backing Vice President Harris in a Monday article for Vanity Fair and “grieving the loss” of her dad to former President Trump.

“I spent a lot of my life wishing my father had less power,” Caroline Giuliani said in her Vanity Fair piece. “But I never wanted it to happen like this. And selfishly, the deeper my dad gets stuck in the quicksand of his problems, the more fleeting our opportunities to connect as father and daughter become.

“After months of feeling the type of sorrow that comes from the death of a loved one, it dawned on me that I’ve been grieving the loss of my dad to Trump,” Caroline Giuliani continued. “I cannot bear to lose our country to him too.”

This isn’t the first time Caroline Giuliani has backed a Democrat for president over Trump.

In 2016, she also reportedly supported the Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, saying on Facebook that she was “pro-Hillary all along.”

In her Vanity Fair piece, Caroline Giuliani said she is voicing her “adamant support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz,” stating that she is “a recently engaged-to-be-married, 35-year-old who hopes to feel more joyous than fearful about the potential of becoming a parent” herself and that she is obligated “to advocate for a future worth bringing children into.”

“We live at a crossroads in history, where the future of not only our democracy but our planet is at stake,” the former mayor’s daughter said.

The elder Giuliani was disbarred last week in the nation’s capital by a federal appeals court due to his efforts to stop the transfer of power following Trump losing the 2020 election.
