Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was in “critical but stable condition” in a Florida hospital on Sunday night, his spokesman said.
Ted Goodman, his spokesman, did not offer any details about what led to the hospitalization of the 81-year-old Giuliani, who previously served as President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer.
“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 said in a statement.
“We do ask that you join us in prayer for America’s Mayor Rudy Giuliani,” he said.
The Republican served as an attorney for Trump’s 2020 campaign, where he promoted false claims that Trump had actually won that election over former President Joe Biden.
Giuliani hosted his online show, “America’s Mayor Live,” on Friday night from Palm Beach, Florida, The Associated Press reported.
During the show, he coughed and sounded more raspy than usual, the AP noted.
“My voice is a little under the weather, so I won’t be able to speak as loudly as I usually do, but I’ll get closer to the microphone,” Giuliani said during the show.
