Political strategist Alex Bruesewitz, 27, who played a pivotal role in Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, collapsed on stage during a speech at the 112th annual New York Young Republicans gala on Sunday night.
The event, which featured notable Trump allies like Steve Bannon and Dan Scavino, took a dramatic turn when Bruesewitz began slurring his speech before stating, “I’m forgetting my words.”
Moments later, he slowly fell to the ground, prompting immediate medical attention backstage.
The cause of the medical issue remains unclear, though conservative influencer Jack Posobiec described the incident as a “fainting spell” after speaking with Bruesewitz.
He is known for his efforts in making Trump “cool” again among young voters; Bruesewitz’s role in youth outreach has been widely credited as a key factor in the campaign’s success.
His sudden collapse highlights the importance of prioritizing health, even amidst high-pressure roles.
The strategist is reportedly recovering, and supporters hope for his swift return to continue his impactful work.
