Bill Clinton was discharged from a hospital in Washington after he checked in for a fever, a spokesman for the former president said Tuesday.
“President Clinton was discharged earlier today after being treated for the flu,” spokesman Angel Ureña said in a post to X. “He and his family are deeply grateful for the exceptional care provided by the team at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and are touched by the kind messages and well wishes he received.
“He sends his warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season to all,” Ureña added.
Clinton, 78, was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Medical Center on Monday. The former president was previously hospitalized in 2021 for six days after developing a urological infection that spread to his bloodstream. He also was diagnosed with heart problems and underwent a quadruple bypass surgery in 2004.
The former president has remained active in U.S. politics since departing the White House. Most recently, he campaigned heavily for Vice President Kamala Harris this year.
He spoke in August at the Democratic National Convention, where he shared that he was not sure how many conventions he would have left.
