Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was hospitalized in critical condition, his spokesman said Sunday.<\/p>\n
“Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he\u2019s fighting with that same level of strength as we speak,” spokesman Ted Goodman wrote in a social media post, saying\u00a0that Giuliani was in “critical but stable condition.”<\/p>\n
“We do ask that you join us in prayer for America’s Mayor Rudy Giuliani,” Goodman wrote.<\/p>\n
It was not immediately clear where Giuliani, 81, was hospitalized or what sent him to the hospital.<\/p>\n
He hosted his web show,\u00a0“America\u2019s Mayor Live<\/a>” from Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n President Donald Trump called Giuliani a “True Warrior” who was “the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR” in a social media post published about 30 minutes after Goodman shared the news.<\/p>\n “What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Radial Left Lunatics, Democrats … and now, look at Rudy. So sad!” Trump wrote.<\/p>\n After serving as one of the nation\u2019s highest-profile prosecutors, taking on mobsters and crooked Wall Street traders, Giuliani was elected mayor of New York City in 1993 and served two terms. Trump’s former personal lawyer, he became one of the president’s most vocal supporters<\/a> in spreading false information about voter fraud in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n He was disbarred in Washington, D.C., and New York over the issue, and lost a $148 million defamation lawsuit <\/a>brought by two Georgia election workers.<\/p>\n Giuliani\u00a0was indicted in 2023 for what prosecutors said at the time\u00a0was a scheme to overturn the 2020 electoral votes in Georgia in favor of Trump. Last year, Trump pardoned Giuliani and dozens of other allies who promoted theories about the “stolen” election.<\/p>\n
