This was reported by a source close to Clinton NBC News, external that the situation is “not urgent” and the former president will be “fine”. The news network reported that Clinton was awake and in good spirits.
This is the last threat to the health of the 42nd US president, who worked in the White House from 1993 to 2001.
Clinton, 78, was last hospitalized for six days in 2021 in California after developing an infection in his blood. He is also known to have suffered from heart problems in the past.
In 2004, aged 58, he underwent a quadruple bypass after doctors discovered signs of extensive heart disease, and ten years later, after complaining of chest pains, he was diagnosed with a blocked artery.
Shortly after the second operation, the ex-president, known for his love of fatty food, became a vegan. In 2016, he told Politico, “I wouldn’t be around if I hadn’t gone vegan. It’s wonderful.”
Clinton was heavily involved in the presidential campaign this year as he toured the country to promote Vice President Kamala Harris’ candidacy for the presidency.
Last month, he released his latest book, Citizen: My Life After the White House.
