0:13Now PlayingNorth Dakota Governor Doug Burgum participated in the first Republican presidential debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday night despite suffering an Achilles tendon injury while playing basketball, the debate’s host said.
In a memo to campaigns, Fox News said it had offered Burgum an accommodation: a stool behind his podium to rest during commercial breaks “so he doesn’t need to walk up and down steps to go backstage where there are chairs for all candidates.” The memo, which was obtained by Bloomberg News, said Burgum had accepted the offer.
Burgum’s appearance had been in doubt after being taken to a Milwaukee emergency room Tuesday following an injury incurred during a pick-up basketball game with staff. Touring the debate venue on crutches Wednesday, Burgum told Bloomberg he was heading to the doctor afterward to find out whether he could stand for the two-hour event.
