Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is hospitalized and in "critical but stable condition" due to pneumonia, according to his spokesperson, Ted Goodman. The spokesperson emphasized that Giuliani, 81, is a fighter who has faced many challenges, and he continues to fight this current health crisis as well. Goodman did not disclose specifics regarding Giuliani's illness or how long he has been hospitalized, asking the public to join in prayer for Giuliani, often referred to as "America’s Mayor" for his leadership post-9/11, according to SCMP, BBC, LA Times, Channel News Asia, and Le Monde.

Giuliani has been hospitalized in Florida, where he previously hosted his online show “America’s Mayor Live.” His health complications have reportedly been exacerbated by a long-standing restrictive airway disease resulting from his exposure to toxins and dust during the 9/11 attacks, which required mechanical ventilation initially. However, it has been confirmed that Giuliani is now breathing on his own, indicating a potential recovery, according to sources including LA Times, Reuters, and Channel News Asia.

President Donald Trump took to social media to express his admiration for Giuliani, calling him “the Best Mayor in the History of New York City” and a “true warrior,” while commenting on how unfairly he has been treated by critics. Trump emphasized Giuliani's significant past contributions, reflecting on his leadership in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, which further cements his influential role in New York City's history, as reported by BBC, Al Jazeera, and LA Times.

Additionally, New York's current Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, expressed concern for Giuliani's health, acknowledging his long-standing influence in the city's political landscape. His remarks come amidst growing anxiety among New Yorkers regarding Giuliani's condition, highlighting the former mayor's complex legacy, according to Reuters and Channel News Asia.
