At the New York Young Republican Club Gala on Sunday, Trump campaign advisor Alex Bruesewitz suddenly passed out in the middle of his address, which stunned the guests in attendence and prompted an outpouring of worry from the participants.
Bruesewitz, who is the chairman of the consulting firm X Strategies and was instrumental in the campaign of President-elect Donald Trump in 2024, was a distinguished guest at the event.
Bruesewitz, on the other hand, started slurring his words just before pausing in the middle of his speech.
After some time had passed, he collapsed to the ground, and the audience gasped in shock as wild shouts filled the room.

Other speakers reassured the audience that Bruesewitz was receiving medical attention and was “responsive backstage” despite the fact that the cause of the fall is still unknown.
During the broadcast of X, MAGA commentator Jack Posobiec provided updates on Bruesewitz’s condition and informed the audience that the speaker was in a positive mood after the event.
Just talked to @alexbruesewitz backstage
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

Later in the evening, President Trump made a phone call at the gala in which he addressed the incident.
“I know that Alex is going to be fine because he’s a tough son of a gun. There’s no doubt about that. I want to say hello to Alex because he’s a very special guy.” Trump said.
