Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Michigan Senate candidate John James are now on a first name basis — just not their own first names. It started with Giuliani’s endorsement of James:
Don James is running for Senate in Michigan. He is a combat veteran, a successful business man and believes in lower taxes, more jobs, effective health care and safety and security. He’s the future of our party. Let’s make that future now.. Vote for Don James.

Catch that first name? James did, and responded accordingly:
Thanks, Randy! While you were leading NYC through the aftermath of 9/11, I was at West Point training to bring terrorists to justice. pic.twitter.com/l5F1Vng56u

Ha! Nicely done.
This is actually funny. John James, GOP candidate in Michigan, responds to Rudy Giuliani calling him “Don” by calling Rudy “Randy”
I needed that laugh! https://t.co/wCVIecbMcs

Giuliani followed up this way:
Sorry for the mistake with JOHN JAMES first name but you’d be making one if you don’t elect him to Senate from Michigan.The tweet was not planned but spontaneous.I saw his interview and record-military, business-and said this is a true leader,not the same old. He’s exceptional

James is hoping to unseat Michigan Democrat Sen. Debbie Stabenow on Tuesday.
