Joe Wilson (R-SC) has returned to work following a hospitalization due to a &#8220;severe blood pressure drop.&#8221; The veteran congressman from South Carolina shared in a video on Monday that he fainted on the evening of September 10 but was fortunate to be with House Chaplain Margaret Kibben and two heart surgeons who quickly came to his aid. At 77 years old, Wilson received a pacemaker during his stay at George Washington University Hospital. He expressed gratitude for the bipartisan support he received from both Democrats and Republicans, stating that the issues affecting his public service have now been resolved thanks to the pacemaker. Additionally, Wilson extended his thanks for former President Donald Trump&#8217;s safety after an alleged assassination attempt over the weekend. His health concerns come in light of recent events, including the passing of Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) on August 21 after prolonged hospitalizations due to respiratory issues. Wilson&#8217;s hospitalization coincided with House Republican leaders working to secure votes for a continuing resolution aimed at extending funding until March of next year; however, they ultimately withdrew it last week when it became clear there weren&#8217;t enough votes for passage, leaving Republicans scrambling as they try to avert a government shutdown with only two weeks left in session<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2648,"featured_media":2341922,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/AP23033720593591.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[41006,37092,19534,40608,32076],"class_list":["post-2341921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-blood-pressure","tag-health-update","tag-hospitalization","tag-joe-wilson","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/AP23033720593591.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2341921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2648"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2341921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2341921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2341922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2341921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2341921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2341921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
