Republican Florida State Sen. Ileana Garcia handed out whereas talking at a press convention held by Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday.
Garcia was talking about environmental laws when she instantly turned to DeSantis to let him know she was not feeling properly.
“Governor, forgive me,” Garcia mentioned. “I’ve gotta sit down as a result of I’m not feeling properly.”
Seconds later, Garcia slumped over and was caught by Florida Surgeon Common Joseph Ladapo.
“We obtained you,” Ladapo repeatedly instructed her as he prevented her from falling.

Garcia was given water and sat down momentarily earlier than returning to the rostrum and ending her remarks.
The group cheered, and he or she joked concerning the state of affairs.
“Are you kidding? This was my second,” Garcia mentioned to laughter. “Nerve-racking, however this was my second, and I so respect your grace, Governor DeSantis.”
The reason for the collapse stays unclear.
