Ron DeSantis Unharmed in Car Crash on Campaign Trail in Tennessee

(Washington Insider Magazine) –  On Tuesday, Ron DeSantis, the conservative governor of Florida and Republican presidential candidate, was involved in a minor car crash while campaigning in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Despite the incident, DeSantis and his team emerged unscathed, with his press secretary Bryan Griffin reassuring the public that the governor was unharmed.

The crash occurred as the motorcade DeSantis was traveling in encountered slowed traffic, causing four vehicles to collide. According to local ABC affiliate News Channel 9, one staff member sustained minor injuries but continued to the campaign stop for treatment.

DeSantis, who is currently polling in second place behind former president Donald Trump by roughly 30 points in the Republican primary race, has been working to reinvigorate his campaign ahead of the upcoming Republican debate. Tuesday’s events marked a continuation of his fundraising tour across Tennessee.

In a brief statement, Griffin expressed gratitude for the support received, saying,

“We appreciate the prayers and well wishes of the nation for his continued protection while on the campaign trail.”
