President Donald Trump revealed that Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL) was told he could be dead by June due to a severe heart condition before a dramatic intervention by White House doctors helped turn the situation around.
The stunning account came during remarks alongside House Speaker Mike Johnson, who described the Florida congressman’s initial medical outlook as dire. Johnson first referenced the diagnosis while praising Dunn’s commitment to continuing his work in Congress despite the serious health concerns.
“[Dunn] had had a pretty grim diagnosis,” Johnson said. “I mentioned it to the president, and I said, ‘Congressman Dunn is a real champion and a patriot because he’s still coming to work.’ And if others got this diagnosis, they would be apt to go home and retire.”
“What was the diagnosis?” the president asked.
“It was… I mean, I think it was a terminal diagnosis,” Johnson said.
Trump then bluntly stated the gravity of the situation: “He would be dead by June.”
