Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalized and is in “critical but stable condition,” his spokesperson says.
The spokesperson, Ted Goodman, does not immediately provide more details about Giuliani’s condition or how long he has been hospitalized.
“Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he’s fighting with that same strength now,” Goodman says in a statement. “We do ask that you join us in prayer for America’s Mayor Rudy Giuliani.”
Giuliani, 81, garnered acclaim for his response to the September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda attack on New York City, earning the nickname “America’s Mayor.”
Giuliani worked as an attorney for US President Donald Trump in his failed efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, an effort that led to criminal charges against Giuliani in two US states and a defamation lawsuit from election workers. Giuliani has denied wrongdoing in the criminal cases.
He was previously hospitalized last year following a car crash in New Hampshire.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
