Giuliani was re-elected before 9/11 because he was “tough on crime” and crime declined dramatically while he was in office. By the time 9/11 happened, he was not eligible to run for mayor again due to term limits.

He got lucky in that a lot of the reasons for the nationwide decrease in crime happened during his administration.
You also had enough people in NYC happy that the city was becoming more orderly.
