Alex Bruesewitz, a top adviser for President-elect Donald Trump, is making a speedy recovery following a fainting spell at the hospital on Monday, which was preceded by his sudden collapse at a New York Young Republican gala on Sunday night.
“We are back. What a surreal experience. Maybe I took my Joe Biden impression just a little too far,” Bruesewitz posted on X on Monday night.
Bruesewitz, 27, first fainted at a NYC Young Republicans gala, tilting forwards and tumbling over the lectern.
“I’m forgetting my words,” he managed to say as he began to slur before he collapsed mid-speech.
He was treated by first responders and transported to New York Presbyterian Hospital for treatment, where he blacked out for a second time on Monday.
Others backstage during the gala said that Bruesewitz appeared to be fine before his speech and was even in high spirits after being carried offstage.
“He is getting checked out by medical after having a brief fainting spell onstage. All levels are normal. Only thing he asked me was, ‘Did it look cool?’ He’ll be just fine,” Human Events editor Jack Posobiec wrote on X on Sunday night.
Bruesewitz specifically highlighted Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles for sticking by his side at the gala until first responders took him to the emergency room.
He was also quick to thank all those who were thinking of him following his fainting episodes.
“Lastly, thank you to everyone who prayed for me and sent heartfelt, thoughtful, encouraging messages. I feel truly blessed to be supported by such wonderful people,” Bruesewitz wrote on X.
Bruesewitz is CEO of X Strategies LLC, a conservative political consultancy firm, and he is the author of several books on political conservatism.
