Rudy Giuliani in Critical but Stable Condition With Pneumonia, Now Breathing on His Own

His spokesman says pneumonia, compounded by 9/11‑related lung damage, led to brief ventilation before he resumed breathing on his own.

Overview

  • Giuliani, 81, is recovering from pneumonia after what his spokesman described Monday as a short period on mechanical ventilation, and he now breathes without assistance.
  • He remains hospitalized in critical but stable condition, with media reporting a Florida facility while his team has not named the hospital.
  • The spokesman cited a preexisting restrictive respiratory disease linked to World Trade Center dust exposure, which he said made this illness more dangerous.
  • Public figures weighed in after the Sunday hospitalization announcement, with President Donald Trump praising Giuliani and former New York mayor Eric Adams wishing him a full recovery.
  • The health scare comes after steep legal and financial setbacks, including a 2023 jury award of $148 million to two Georgia election workers, bankruptcy proceedings, and suspension of his law license.
