Republican Indiana Rep. Jim Baird has been hospitalized following a car accident but is responsive and in stable condition, according to reports.
Baird’s wife, Danise, was also reportedly in the car at the time of the accident and was hospitalized along with her husband. The lawmaker, 80, has represented the solidly Republican Indiana’s 4th congressional district since 2019.
President Donald Trump said in a Tuesday morning speech to a GOP retreat at the Kennedy Center that he wanted to “send our best wishes to Congressman Jim Baird and his wife, who are recovering from a car accident.”
“They’re going to be OK but they had a pretty bad accident. And we’re praying that they get out of that hospital very quickly. He’s going to be fine, she’s going to be fine, but it was a bad accident,” the president added.
Further details of the car accident, which was first reported by Fox News, and the extent of his injuries are unclear.
