Rudy Giuliani Hospitalized With Pneumonia, Off Ventilator but Still Critical

His spokesman links the severe case to a 9/11‑related airway disease.

Overview

  • Giuliani, 81, who was placed on a ventilator over the weekend, was breathing on his own Monday according to his spokesman.
  • He remains in critical but stable condition at Good Samaritan Medical Center in West Palm Beach, with family and his primary medical provider at his side.
  • The spokesman says a restrictive airway disease tied to Ground Zero exposure made the infection more dangerous because stiffened lungs hold less air and handle illness poorly.
  • He had coughed on his online show Friday and told viewers he felt under the weather before he was admitted to the hospital.
  • President Donald Trump praised him on Truth Social as supporters and New York officials offered well wishes, while news outlets noted that detailed medical updates are coming chiefly from his spokesperson rather than the hospital.
