A White House press conference led by U.S. President Donald Trump came to an abrupt halt on Thursday, November 6, after a man standing near the Resolute Desk suddenly collapsed mid-broadcast. The event, which was being livestreamed from the Oval Office, focused on Trump’s new initiative to reduce the cost of weight loss drugs. Moments into the address, gasps filled the room as the man lost consciousness, prompting immediate concern and confusion among attendees.
Jocomms Correspondent reports that Dr. Mehmet Oz, who was present at the event, quickly rushed to the man’s aid, helping to break his fall and offering first response assistance before medical personnel arrived. The former television doctor and U.S. Senate candidate has now been involved in two public medical emergencies this year, the first occurring during his swearing-in ceremony when his granddaughter briefly collapsed. White House aides immediately escorted the press out of the room as the incident unfolded, and the livestream was cut short.
Officials have not released details about the man’s identity or condition, though early reports suggest he regained consciousness shortly after being treated. Trump’s team later issued a brief statement expressing relief that the individual was receiving proper care and gratitude to Dr. Oz for his swift response. As viewers and reporters replay the startling footage, one question lingers—will this incident overshadow the policy message Trump hoped to deliver that day? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
