Bill Clinton hospitalized for “testing and observation” after developing fever

Bill Clinton, the former president, was admitted to a hospital in Washington, D.C., Monday afternoon for “testing and observation after developing a fever,” according to a statement from his deputy.

“President Clinton was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital this afternoon for testing and observation after developing a fever,” Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, Angel Ureña, had posted on X. “He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving.”

In 2021, Clinton, then 78, was admitted to a hospital in Southern California due to an infection that had infected his blood, but he was discharged six days later.

In September 2004, Clinton had quadruple coronary bypass surgery, which could have saved his life. He experienced chest pains in February 2010 and was admitted to the hospital to have a blocked heart artery opened. Inside, two stents were inserted.

During the presidential campaign, he hit the trail on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris. Last month, he released his latest book, “Citizen: My Life After the White House,” about his post-presidency. In it he reflects on the major events of the last two decades since he was president, including 9/11, the Iraq War, the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, the pandemic and the culture wars
