Delbert Hosemann’s office shares update

Hosemann’s office has now revealed that he is doing fine. In a statement received by WJTV 12 News, Communications Director Hannah C. Millet said, “Lieutenant Governor Hosemann is doing well and in good spirits. He appreciates all of the medical staff and is eager to return to work.”

Medical staff rushed to help Hosemann after he collapsed. However, he was seen sitting upright shortly after falling, and was later spotted walking out of the Capitol, according to Mississippi Today. Flanked by staff and security, he stepped into a government vehicle, which was not one of two AMR ambulances that had been stationed outside.

Hosemann had left the third-floor Senate chamber to address a group of Mississippi Main Street Association representatives, and then returned to the Senate chamber and his podium. Shortly after, he collapsed.

Senate Finance Chairman Josh Harkins, one of Hosemann’s top Senate lieutenants, said on social media that Hosemann seemed to be in good spirits following the incident. “I appreciate all of the calls and text messages concerning Lt Governor Hosemann,” Harkins wrote on X. “As he walked out of the Capitol a little while ago, he looked at us and said, ‘Hey, that last bill was awful!’ He is doing well, and if I know him he will be trying to come back to the Capitol today.”
