Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) swiftly acted to save the life of his colleague, Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), by performing the Heimlich maneuver during a Senate GOP lunch at the U.S. Capitol. The incident occurred as the senators were enjoying a meal provided by Senator Ernst, featuring steak from the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association, as disclosed by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA).
Ernst reportedly began choking on her food, prompting Paul’s quick response. His timely administration of the Heimlich maneuver successfully cleared Ernst’s airway, ensuring her safety. Attendees confirmed that Ernst was okay following the incident.
This dramatic moment underscores the importance of knowing life-saving techniques like the Heimlich maneuver, which can be crucial in emergency situations. Senator Paul’s decisive action highlights the camaraderie and readiness to help one another, even in unexpected circumstances, among members of the Senate.
Senator Ernst’s provision of the lunch, featuring local Iowa steak, was a gesture of her state’s pride, inadvertently leading to a situation that demonstrated the lifesaving skills and quick thinking of her colleague, Senator Paul. The incident, while alarming, ended positively thanks to Senator Paul’s intervention, and both senators are reported to be in good health following the event.
