Senator Ileana García fainted at a press conference

 


Florida Republican State Senator Ileana Garcia collapsed while speaking at a press conference with state leaders.

While speaking at the event alongside Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, Garcia discussed environmental laws before turning to DeSantis to inform him that she suddenly wasn't feeling well.

"Governor, excuse me," she said. "I have to sit down because I don't feel well."

Garcia collapsed sideways as soon as she finished speaking. Fortunately, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo was there to catch her and keep her from falling to the ground. As he picked her up, he kept repeating, "We got her."/CBrief
