Former New York mayor Giuliani out of intensive care

"The (former) mayor ​and his family appreciate the outpouring of love and prayers sent his way," he said.

Giuliani came to global ⁠prominence ‌in 2001 ​as he led New York's recovery ​from the ‌September 11 attacks on the World ​Trade Centre towers, which his spokesperson said led to him ​developing restrictive ​airway disease.

​Giuliani's later failed quest ‌to overturn US President Donald Trump's 2020 election defeat tarnished his image as "America's Mayor", earned for his 2001 response ​to the deadly terrorist attacks.
