Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani plans to meet with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Politico reported late Wednesday night.
Giuliani, who left the mayor’s office in 2001, has been giving “frank” advice to Cruz’s rival, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. He’s described Trump as “a close personal friend.”
Giuliani has not endorsed any candidate, but as Politico noted, this is a shift in behavior for the outspoken Republican.
The Cruz campaign did not return Politico’s requests for comments on the meeting.
Cruz doubled down on his attack of Trump’s “New York values” during a campaign stop in the Bronx on Thursday, saying they are “the values of liberal Democratic politicians” to whom Trump gave donations.
