Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalized and remains in critical but stable condition, according to statements released Sunday evening.

Ted Goodman, a political strategist who works closely with Giuliani, confirmed the hospitalization in a public statement. “Mayor Rudy Giuliani is currently in the hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition,” Goodman said. “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.”

Goodman requested prayers for the former mayor, who served New York City from 1994 to 2001 and gained national prominence for his leadership following the September 11th terrorist attacks.

President Donald Trump responded to the news with a statement praising Giuliani’s tenure as mayor. “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,” Trump wrote on his social media platform. The President went on to criticize what he described as unfair treatment of Giuliani by political opponents, adding, “What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Radical Left Lunatics, Democrats ALL — AND HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!”

The hospitalization drew reactions from across the political spectrum. Current New York City Mayor Eric Adams, through his spokesperson Todd Shapiro, issued a statement that transcended partisan divisions. “On behalf of Eric Adams, we are wishing strength, good health, and a full recovery to Rudy Giuliani—a man who devoted his life to public service,” the statement read.

Shapiro emphasized Giuliani’s record of service to the city, particularly during the September 11th attacks. “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,” he said. The spokesperson added that despite political differences, Giuliani’s contributions to public service deserve respect.

The nature and cause of Giuliani’s hospitalization have not been disclosed. The eighty-year-old former mayor has remained active in recent years as a political figure and legal advocate, though he has faced significant legal and financial challenges.

Giuliani’s legacy as mayor remains a subject of both praise and debate. His supporters credit him with dramatically reducing crime in New York City during the 1990s and providing steady leadership during the nation’s darkest hour on September 11, 2001. Those achievements earned him the moniker “America’s Mayor” and widespread bipartisan support at the time.

As of this report, no additional medical details or prognosis have been made available. The former mayor’s family and associates have requested privacy during this difficult time while asking for continued prayers and support.

This remains a developing story as the nation awaits further updates on Giuliani’s condition.
