Former president Bill Clinton was hospitalized Monday afternoon in Washington “for testing and observation after developing a fever,” a Clinton spokesman said.
Clinton was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, Angel Ureña, deputy chief of staff for Clinton, wrote on X. “He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,” Ureña wrote.
The 78-year-old former president had been hospitalized in 2021 for a “non-covid-related infection,” his spokesman said at the time. The former president has also been diagnosed with heart problems and underwent quadruple bypass surgery in 2004.
During the 2024 presidential race, Clinton made appearances in the southern battleground states, campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee. He recently published another book, “Citizen: My Life After the White House,” about major events since he left the White House in January 2001.
