Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani Hospitalized ‘in Critical But Stable Condition,’ Spokesperson Says

Rudy Giuliani — who served as the mayor of New York City from 1994 to 2001— has been hospitalized for undisclosed reasons.

“Mayor Rudy Giuliani is currently in the hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition,” his spokesperson, Ted Goodman, shared in a statement on X on Sunday, May 3. “Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he’s fighting with that same level of strength as we speak.”

“We do ask that you join us in prayer for America’s Mayor Rudy Giuliani,” Goodman added.

According to The New York Times, the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, 81, is currently in a hospital in Florida. The outlet also reported that it is unclear how long he has been in the hospital, nor what health condition he has.

Giuliani was elected Mayor of New York City in 1993, where he focused on cracking down on organized crime and financial crime. Following the deadly terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center on September 11 in 2001, he was praised for how he communicated with the public and led rescue efforts.

However, his career was later marred by his association with spreading misinformation regarding the 2020 presidential election, in which Joe Biden beat Donald Trump. According to NBC News, his license to practice law was suspended in New York in 2021 for allegedly spreading lies about voter fraud. In 2024, he was disbarred in New York and Washington, D.C., per NBC News.

Following the news of Giuliani’s hospitalization, President Trump described his former attorney as a “True Warrior, and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR” in a post shared on Truth Social on Sunday, May 3.
