According to a statement released by a spokesperson on Tuesday, former President Bill Clinton has been out of the hospital after receiving treatment for the flu.

This news breaks as Washington D.C. is embroiled in the transition from the 46th president to what will be the 47th president next month during the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, as The Washington Examiner reported.

From the Clintons

"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," the statement said.

"He sends his warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season to all," Clinton's deputy chief of staff Angel Ureña said in a statement.

"Clinton, 78, was admitted to the hospital in Washington on Monday after developing a fever.

He was in "good spirits" as he received care and underwent testing, Ureña said.

In the years following her departure from the White House in 2001, Clinton, a Democrat who had previously served as the 42nd President of the United States, experienced a number of health problems.

Other Health Concerns

In the year 2004, he underwent surgery for a quadruple heart bypass, and in the year 2010, he had two stents placed into his heart valves.

2005 was the year when he received surgery to correct a collapsed lung. Even more recently, in 2021, he was admitted to the hospital for a blood illness that lasted for several days.

This past year, Clinton was quite engaged on the campaign trail in support of Vice President Kamala Harris, who is running for president against Trump,

This came following her replacement of President Joe Biden on the Democrat ticket, something that was both shocking and unprecedented for a presidential election.

More Work

During the fall, he also went on tour to promote his recently published memoir, which is titled "Citizen: My Life After the White House."

Clinton expressed her thoughts about the Democratic Party's defeat in 2024 during an interview on ABC's "The View" earlier this month.

He stated, "We need to quit screaming at each other and listen to each other."

"We’re always going to have differences. We’re very narrowly divided now on many things, but I think you shouldn’t run away from the tough ones, you should turn into them,” he said. “I think it will help bring us back together. I may be wrong, but that’s what I think.”
