WASHINGTON – Top Trump ally and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani remains hospitalized and is recovering from pneumonia, a spokesperson said on May 4.
Ted Goodman, spokesperson for the Republican, tied Giuliani's condition to the 9/11 terror attacks in a statement on X. Giuliani was serving as mayor of New York at the time.
"On September 11th, Mayor Giuliani ran toward the towers to help those in need, which later led to a diagnosis of restrictive airway disease," Goodman said. "This condition adds complications to any respiratory illness, and the virus quickly overwhelmed his body, requiring mechanical ventilation to maintain adequate oxygen and stabilize his condition. He is now breathing on his own, with his family and primary medical provider at his side."
Goodman said Giuliani, who was hospitalized on May 3, is still in "critical but stable condition."
His spokesperson said the Giuliani family "deeply appreciates the outpouring of love and support" in his latest update.
