NBC News reports that the situation is not considered an emergency. "President Clinton was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center for testing and observation after developing a fever," Angel Ureña said in a statement on X. "He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving.
" According to a source close to the former president , the situation is "not urgent." The source stated that Clinton deeply appreciates the excellent care that was given.

He is awake and alert." It was stated that the former president "will be fine." This fever is the latest of several health concerns surrounding the former president.
It began in 2004 when he underwent a quadruple bypass operation at New York-Presbyterian Hospital in 2004 before returning six years later in 2010 when two stents were inserted into a coronary artery. In 2021, Clinton was admitted to a California hospital for six days when a urological infection spread to his bloodstream. Clinton's hospitalization comes months after many people expressed their worries over the former president when he appeared at the Democratic National Convention in August with shakey hands and a trembling voice.
"Clinton looks way beyond his years. He is speaking slowly, raspy shaky voice..
. he has aged in every way," one person stated on the social media site X. Another added: "Clinton has shaky hands as he speaks.
He should join Joe and go to the nursing home." The comments came after Clinton attempted to make a swipe at President-elect Donald Trump's age. Clinton said: "I want to say this from the bottom of my heart, I have no idea how many more of these I'll be able to come to.
I started in '76 and I've been everyone since — no, '72. Lord, I'm getting old." The former president added: "Let's cut to the chase, I am too old to gild the lily.
Two days ago, I turned 78, the oldest man in my family for four generations." Then Clinton, who turned 78 on August 19, joked: "The only personal vanity I want to assert is I'm still younger than Donald Trump." The Republican presidential nominee turned 78 on June 14.
He also paid tribute to Joe Biden saying he "voluntarily gave up political power" and said: "I want to thank him for his courage, compassion, his class, his service, his sacrifice. He kept the faith and he’s infected a lot of the rest of us." DAILY NEWSLETTER: Sign up here to get the latest news and updates from the Mirror US straight to your inbox with our FREE newsletter.
