Former President Bill Clinton, 78, has been admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington for observation and testing after developing a fever, according to his deputy chief of staff, Angel Ureña.
Clinton is reportedly in good spirits and grateful for the care he is receiving. A source close to the 42nd president assured that the situation is “not urgent” and that Clinton remains “awake and alert.”
This hospitalization follows several health challenges Clinton has faced since leaving office in 2001, including a quadruple bypass in 2004, stent procedures in 2010, and a urological infection in 2021.
Clinton recently campaigned for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and published a memoir reflecting on his post-presidential life. Despite his health issues, he continues to be a prominent voice in Democratic politics, speaking at every Democratic National Convention since 1976, including this year.
