Rudy Giuliani Hospitalized: ‘America’s Mayor’ in Critical Condition
Rudy Giuliani hospitalized critical condition May 2026
Rudy Giuliani, the former Mayor of New York City and longtime legal advisor to President Donald Trump, was hospitalized on Sunday, May 3, 2026, and is currently in “critical but stable” condition. The news was confirmed late Sunday evening by his spokesperson, Ted Goodman, who released a statement on social media describing the 81-year-old as a “fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength.”
While Goodman did not specify the exact reason for the hospitalization or the facility where Giuliani is being treated, he requested that the public join in prayer for the man often referred to as “America’s Mayor.” According to official reports from The Guardian, Giuliani’s voice had sounded notably raspy and “under the weather” during his most recent broadcast of America’s Mayor Live on Friday night.
The sudden decline in Giuliani’s health comes during a period of relative professional stability following a series of high-profile legal battles. In late 2025, President Trump issued a full pardon to Giuliani for charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, and just last month, the President announced his intention to award Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
As reported by Axios, President Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday to offer his support, calling Giuliani a “True Warrior” and the “Best Mayor in the History of New York City.” The President also used the post to criticize political opponents, alleging that Giuliani had been “treated so badly” by the “Radical Left” in recent years.
Speculation regarding the cause of the hospitalization has centered on Giuliani’s recent public appearances in Florida, where he has been a frequent guest at Mar-a-Lago and active in regional political circles. During his Friday evening show, Giuliani acknowledged his vocal struggles, remarking to his audience, “My voice is a little under the weather, so I won’t be able to speak as loudly as I usually do.”
The Associated Press noted that no further medical updates have been provided as of Monday morning, leaving supporters and critics alike waiting for more detailed information. For now, the focus remains on the recovery of a figure who remains one of the most polarizing and influential voices in modern American politics.
