Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani Hospitalized in Critical Condition
Spokesperson Ted Goodman says the 81-year-old former mayor is in 'critical but stable condition' but did not disclose the cause of hospitalization.
Hospitalization Announcement
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalized and is currently in "critical but stable condition," according to a statement released by his spokesperson on Sunday.
Ted Goodman, the spokesperson for the 81-year-old former mayor, shared the update via social media. In the statement, Goodman described Giuliani as "a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength," adding that he is "fighting with that same level of strength as we speak".
Goodman did not provide specific details regarding the cause of the hospitalization or how long Giuliani has been in the medical facility. He requested that the public "join us in prayer for America’s Mayor".
Recent Activity and Health History
Prior to the announcement, Giuliani hosted his online program, "America's Mayor Live," on Friday night from Palm Beach, Florida. During the opening of that broadcast, he was observed coughing and remarked that his voice was "a little under the weather".
This is not the first time the former mayor has required hospitalization in recent years. In September, Giuliani was hospitalized after sustaining a fractured vertebra and other injuries resulting from a car crash in New Hampshire.
Political and Legal Background
Giuliani rose to national prominence during his tenure as mayor of New York City, specifically for his leadership in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. In later years, he served as an adviser to former President Donald Trump.
His public standing shifted following his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. These activities led to his disbarment in both New York and Washington, D.C.. Additionally, Giuliani has faced criminal charges in Georgia and Arizona.
He was also the subject of a successful defamation lawsuit brought by two Georgia election workers, resulting in a judgment of nearly $150 million.
