Rudy Giuliani hospitalized in critical condition

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalized in critical but stable condition, according to statements from his spokesperson. The reason for his hospitalization remains unspecified. Ted Goodman, Giuliani’s spokesman, described the 81-year-old as a fighter, urging prayers for his recovery. President Donald Trump praised Giuliani on Truth Social, calling him a "True Warrior" and "the Best Mayor in the History of New York City." Giuliani was last seen publicly on his streaming show, where he mentioned feeling unwell but did not disclose further details. Former NYC Mayor Eric Adams released a statement wishing Giuliani strength, noting his contributions to public service despite political differences. Giuliani’s hospitalization follows a previous incident in August when he suffered injuries in a car accident. He has a long career in law and politics, including serving as U.S. attorney in Manhattan and leading New York City through the 9/11 attacks. In recent years, he has been a prominent figure in conservative politics, notably as a lawyer for Trump during the 2020 election disputes.
