President Donald Trump addressed House GOP members about the health of Indiana U.S. Rep. Jim Baird, who is hospitalized after a car accident. Trump expressed optimism for the couple's recovery, assuring attendees they will be fine. Baird has served in Congress since 2019 and at 80 years old, is one of its senior members.

These events signify a shrinking majority in the House, now falling to 218 seats for Republicans against 213 for Democrats.
