Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani is hospitalized in a critical but stable condition, according to his spokesman. The spokesman, Ted Goodman, did not disclose the reason for the 81-year-old former politician's hospitalization. Giuliani, known as "America's mayor," gained fame for his leadership after the 9/11 attacks. He has faced recent legal challenges, including being ordered to pay $148 million for defaming election workers. He has since been disbarred in New York and Washington, DC. The news was reported on May 3, 2026.
