Angel Ureña, the deputy chief of staff to the 42nd president, informed NBC News, that he is in “good spirits and appreciative of the care he is receiving.” A source close to Mr. Clinton indicated that the situation is “not urgent.” “The former president will be fine,” the source remarked. “He developed a fever and sought medical evaluation. He is awake and alert.” This year, Mr. Clinton has been actively campaigning in support of Vice President Kamala Harris and promoting his book, Citizen.

Having served two terms from January 1993 to January 2001, the former president also spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer.
