Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been transferred out of intensive care after suffering what doctors described as a serious medical emergency caused by double pneumonia, according to a source close to his family.
Giuliani, 81, was hospitalized over the weekend after experiencing severe respiratory distress that later was diagnosed as life-threatening pneumonia affecting both lungs.
Those close to the former mayor said his condition initially raised grave concerns.
“It was touch and go,” a source said regarding Giuliani’s condition over the weekend. “But his recovery over the last several days has been remarkable.”
The source added that Giuliani’s progress has exceeded expectations and that he is expected to be discharged from the hospital within the next several days as doctors continue monitoring his recovery.
News of Giuliani’s improving condition prompted reactions from longtime political allies, friends, and supporters who had been closely following developments since reports of his hospitalization first emerged.
Despite the health scare, Giuliani is already focused on resuming public appearances and political commentary, according to those familiar with his condition.
“Rudy is anxious to get back on the media circuit,” the source said. “He wants to be out there fighting for President Trump as soon as doctors allow it.”
Giuliani has remained one of President Donald Trump’s most visible allies throughout years of political and legal disputes, frequently appearing in media interviews and public events defending the president and his administration.
After Giuliani’s hospitalization became public, Trump posted a message on Truth Social praising the former mayor and expressing support for his recovery.
“Our fabulous Rudy Giuliani, a True Warrior, and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR, has been hospitalized, and is in critical condition,” Trump wrote.
The relationship between Trump and Giuliani dates back decades to their years as prominent public figures in New York City during the 1990s. Giuliani served as mayor while Trump expanded his real estate and business operations throughout the city.
Their political alliance strengthened significantly during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, when Giuliani became one of the earliest high-profile political figures to publicly endorse him.
In the years that followed, Giuliani became a regular television surrogate for Trump and remained heavily involved in defending the president publicly during multiple political controversies and election disputes.
Giuliani has also served as a contributor for Newsmax, where his podcast is carried on the network’s streaming platform, Newsmax2.
Family sources said doctors remain cautious and will continue closely monitoring Giuliani’s condition after his release, though optimism surrounding his recovery has increased substantially in recent days.
