Rudy Giuliani Hospitalized In Florida In Critical But Stable Condition

Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor and close ally of President Donald Trump, was hospitalized in Florida in “critical” condition, his spokesperson said Sunday.

“Rudy Giuliani hospitalized in critical condition: Spokesperson The former New York City mayor is "critical but stable," his spokesman said”

ABC News

CiberCuba reported that Giuliani, “di 81 anni,” was admitted “in un centro medico della Florida in condizioni critiche,” citing a statement from his spokesperson Ted Goodman and a report by journalist Wilfredo Cancio.

Forbes likewise said Giuliani was “hospitalized in ‘critical’ condition,” adding that Goodman’s statement said he was “where he remains in critical but stable condition.”

ABC News described the same phrasing, saying Giuliani was “critical but stable,” and quoted the spokesperson’s statement: “Mayor Giuliani is currently in the hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition.”

Sky News and CNBC both echoed that Trump and Goodman released details, with Sky News stating Giuliani is “in critical but stable condition in hospital.”

Multiple outlets also said the spokesperson did not specify why Giuliani was admitted or how long he had been there, including ABC News, which said “The statement does not say what led to the hospitalization.”

The hospitalization followed Giuliani’s online show, “America’s Mayor Live,” which aired on Friday from Palm Beach, Florida, where he said his voice was “a little under the weather.”

Giuliani’s hospitalization was linked by several outlets to his appearance on “America’s Mayor Live,” which he hosted from Palm Beach, Florida.

Forbes said “The latest episode of Giuliani’s online talk show ‘America’s Mayor Live’ aired on Friday,” and described how he opened the show by saying his voice was “a little under the weather.”

CNBC similarly reported that Giuliani hosted the online show on Friday night from Palm Beach, Florida, and said that “During the show, he coughed and sounded more raspy than usual.”

Both Forbes and CNBC quoted Giuliani telling viewers: “My voice is a little under the weather, so I won’t be able to speak ‘as loudly as I usually do.’”

Sky News also described the same moment, saying Giuliani’s spokesman and Trump released details and quoting Trump’s Truth Social post while noting Giuliani had “cough[ed]” and sounded “more raspy than usual.”

In response to the hospitalization, Trump posted on Truth Social, calling Giuliani “a True Warrior” and “the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR.”

Forbes quoted Trump’s post in full, including: “Our fabulous Rudy Giuliani, a True Warrior, and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR, has been hospitalized, and is in critical condition.”

Across outlets, Ted Goodman’s statement to reporters and on social media served as the main source of medical status, repeatedly describing Giuliani as “critical but stable” and urging prayer.

Forbes said Goodman’s statement described Giuliani as “where he remains in critical but stable condition,” and it added that the statement described the former New York mayor as a “fighter” tackling the challenge with “unwavering strength.”

ABC News quoted Goodman’s statement directly, saying: “Mayor Giuliani is currently in the hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition,” and it continued: “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.”

ABC News also quoted the request: “We do ask that you join us in prayer for America's Mayor -- Rudy Giuliani.”

CNBC carried the same Goodman language, saying: “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,” and again: “We do ask that you join us in prayer for America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani.”

NBC News likewise quoted Goodman on X, saying: “Mayor Giuliani is currently in the hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition,” and included: “We do ask that you join us in prayer for America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani.”

ABC7 New York also quoted Goodman’s statement and said he “didn't say what sent the 81-year-old to the hospital or how long he's been there.”

Several reports placed Giuliani’s hospitalization within a broader timeline of legal and political consequences, while also noting his earlier public prominence.

Sky News said Giuliani “earned the ‘America's Mayor’ nickname for helping unite the nation following the September 11 attacks in 2001,” and it described him as “a divisive figure” in recent years after serving as an adviser and personal lawyer for President Donald Trump.

CNBC added that Giuliani served as an attorney for Trump’s 2020 campaign, where he promoted “false claims that Trump had actually won that election over former President Joe Biden.”

NBC News and Politico both described the legal fallout, with Politico saying Giuliani “was disbarred in Washington, D.C. and New York,” and that he faced “criminally charged in Arizona and Georgia” and was sued for “nearly $150 million” for defamation against two Georgia election workers.

CNBC and NBC News also referenced the defamation finding, with CNBC stating he was “found liable in federal court in Washington, D.C., for defaming two Georgia election workers” and that he was ordered to pay “nearly $150 million.”

NBC News said Giuliani was disbarred in New York and Washington, D.C., and it described Trump’s pardon in November as “largely symbolic,” noting that “none of the people pardoned were convicted of federal crimes.”

ABC News also included a statement from an official in New York City politics, saying “A spokesperson for Eric Adams” noted Giuliani’s service and quoted Todd Shapiro: “From his years as a federal prosecutor to leading New York City through its darkest day on 9/11, he stood with this city when it needed him most.”

Multiple outlets also tied Giuliani’s current health situation to a prior hospitalization after a car crash in New Hampshire, while still emphasizing that the new hospitalization’s cause was not disclosed.

“Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was hospitalized this Sunday in Florida in critical but stable condition, according to his spokesman in a statement that did not specify the reasons”

Forbes said “In early September last year, Giuliani was hospitalized after being involved in a car accident in Manchester, New Hampshire,” and it described the injuries as “a fractured vertebra” after his vehicle was rear-ended on Interstate 93.

CNBC similarly said Giuliani was hospitalized in Florida on Sunday night, and it noted that he “was injured in a car crash in New Hampshire last year,” while NBC News said he “was hospitalized last year after suffering injuries, including a spinal fracture, following a car crash in New Hampshire.”

Fox News added more detail about the earlier incident, saying Giuliani was “flagged down by a woman fleeing a domestic-violence incident,” and that New Hampshire State Police said the crash happened “just before 10 p.m. on Interstate 93 in Manchester.”

Fox News also reported that Giuliani was diagnosed with “a fractured thoracic vertebrae,” along with “multiple lacerations and contusions and injuries to his left arm and lower leg,” and it quoted Michael Ragusa saying: “This was not a targeted attack.”

In the present hospitalization, however, outlets repeatedly said no cause was provided, including ABC News, which stated “The statement does not say what led to the hospitalization,” and NBC News, which said the spokesman “did not specify why” Giuliani had been hospitalized.

The combination of a previously documented injury history and the current lack of medical specifics left the immediate public record focused on the repeated status phrase “critical but stable” and the calls for prayer.
