Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City and disbarred attorney, was hospitalized in May 2026, confirmed his representative. The apparent health crisis arose just days after Giuliani launched his online show «America's Mayor Live» with a hoarse voice.
«Mayor Giuliani is a fighter who has faced every challenge in his life with unwavering strength, and he is fighting with that same strength right now», - said spokesperson Ted Goodman. «We ask you to join us in prayers for America’s Mayor — Rudy Giuliani».
Less than a year prior, on August 30, 2025, Giuliani was involved in a car accident in New Hampshire, which also led to his hospitalization. At that time, he was assisting a victim of domestic violence, according to his representative, when he was struck from behind by a vehicle. Colleagues, acquaintances, and supporters of Giuliani were understandably concerned about his condition and what had happened to him.
Below are updates on Giuliani’s health status.
On May 3, 2026, Giuliani was taken to the hospital in critical condition, reported his spokesperson Goodman. He did not specify what exactly caused the former mayor’s hospitalization.
On August 30, 2025, Giuliani was hit from behind by a car after he assisted a victim of domestic violence in New Hampshire, his spokesperson and head of security Michael Ragusa reported.
«Before the incident, [Giuliani] was stopped by a woman who was a victim of domestic violence», - Ragusa explained in his public statement. «Mayor Giuliani immediately rendered assistance and called 911. He remained at the scene until police arrived to ensure her safety. After that, while driving on the highway, his vehicle was struck from behind at high speed».

Ragusa added that the Republican «was taken to the nearest trauma center, where he was diagnosed with a fractured thoracic vertebra, multiple cuts and bruises, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg» as a result of the accident.
At the time of publication, it was unclear who hit Giuliani on the road. However, Ragusa insisted in a separate tweet that it «was not a targeted attack».
Giuliani was «recovering wonderfully» and was in «good spirits» after sustaining injuries, Ragusa wrote in a tweet on August 31, 2025.
In addition to the injuries sustained in the 2025 accident, Giuliani had previously experienced serious health issues. In April 2000, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. At that time, he was 55 years old and made a full recovery.
To combat the cancer, Giuliani opted to implant radioactive seeds in his prostate and then underwent double radiation therapy instead of surgery, according to NBC News
