Former US President Bill Clintonhas been rushed to hospital, his staff has confirmed.
Angel Ureña, Clinton's deputy chief of staff said on X: " PresidentClinton was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center this afternoon for testing and observation after developing a fever." Clinton, a Democratwho served two terms as president from January 1993 until January 2001, is in "good spirits" and "deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving", Urena said.
Clinton addressed the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer and campaigned ahead of November's election for the unsuccessful White House bid of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.

"People have lost faith in establishments everywhere," he told former Tony Blair communications man Alastair Campbell and ex-Tory MP Rory Stewart on their podcast Leading.
"What was once disabling behaviour is no longer such a problem as people were more worried about the world crumbling around them without some certainty of where they're going to be in the new world," he said.
Clinton and his wife Hilary urged audience members in a packed theater to remain engaged and find ways to communicate with those they disagree with despite a divisive political time.
The two spoke as they celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Clinton presidential library.
“We’re just passing through, and we all need to just calm down and do something that builds people up instead of tears them down,” Bill Clinton said.
Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state who was defeated by Trump in the 2016 election, said she understands the next couple of years are going to be challenging for voters who don't agree with the decisions being made.

When asked about advice he would give for people disappointed by the election results, Bill Clinton said people need to continue working toward bringing people together and improving others' lives.
“If that's the way you keep score, then you ought to be trying to run up the score,” he said.
“Not lamenting the fact that somebody else is winning a different game because they keep score a different way."
“And in addition, figure out what we can do to win again,” Hillary Clinton added, eliciting cheers.
