Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalized in critical condition, his spokesperson Ted Goodman confirmed on May 4, 2026. Goodman did not immediately provide further details about Giuliani's condition or the duration of his hospitalization.
Giuliani, 82, served as mayor of New York City from 1994 to 2001 and was a prominent figure in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. He later became a personal lawyer for former President Donald Trump and played a key role in efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.
In recent years, Giuliani has faced legal and financial challenges, including bankruptcy filings and criminal charges in Georgia and Arizona related to election interference. He has pleaded not guilty in those cases.
Goodman stated, 'Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he's fighting now.' No further updates on his medical status have been released.
