The incident occurred when the former president was commenting on the policies of California Governor Gavin Newsom. At one point, people standing right behind Trump began calling for medical help, raising their hands and pointing to where the woman had fallen.
A woman fainted at a Donald Trump rally
Trump immediately stopped his speech, directed his gaze towards the crowd, and then asked if there was a doctor in the room. By then, paramedics were already on their way and making their way through the gathered crowd.
“Yes, please take your time. We have plenty of time. They are wonderful people. They have been waiting for so long. For hours. They are wonderful people, right? We all have time, right?” – he said, calming down the crowd.

There were isolated shouts of support from the audience, and Trump responded by praising the rescuers, which was met with applause from the room.
“The first responders are amazing,” he said.
The president, trying to relieve the tension, even suggested playing music.
“Do you want me to play a song? Do you think the people backstage can hear me? Maybe 'Ave Maria' because it will be appropriate? Maybe you'll play it now?” – he asked, but in the end no one turned on the music.
After a few minutes, the woman, who had fainted thanks to the help of medics, stood up and smiled at Trump. The president rewarded her with applause and a triumphant gesture of a raised fist, and added that “she looks great.”
“It's Dr. Oz! Can you believe it? Dr. Oz! And he's a good doctor. Thank you, Oz,” he concluded.
This isn't the first time Dr. Oz has provided assistance at an event with Trump. In November 2025, he was present in the Oval Office when one of the press conference participants suddenly fainted.
The incident during the rally did not disrupt the further course of the event, and the quick response of the medical services and Dr. Oz was appreciated by both the president and the gathered audience.
