Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani is in critical condition in a Florida hospital fighting pneumonia, a condition exacerbated by respiratory issues he developed following the 9/11 attacks.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, 81, is currently in critical but stable condition at a Florida hospital after contracting “pneumonia”. His spokesman, Ted Goodman, confirmed that the virus “quickly overwhelmed” the mayor’s body, requiring him to be placed on mechanical ventilation to stabilize his oxygen levels.
The diagnosis is complicated by Giuliani’s history of “restrictive airway disease”, a condition linked to his time at Ground Zero following the September 11 attacks. While the situation remains grave, his team shared a glimmer of hope on Monday, noting that he is now breathing on his own with family at his side. President Trump took to Truth Social to praise his long-time ally as a “True Warrior,” while supporters across the political spectrum have called for prayers for the man once dubbed “America’s Mayor.”
