Jim Baird, GOP lawmaker, and spouse hurt in crash; Trump addressed it at Kennedy Center

During a speech at the Trump Kennedy Center in Washington DC, President Donald Trump shared that Indiana's 4th Congressional District Representative, Jim Baird, and his wife were involved in a car accident. Trump noted that the couple is expected to recover, although the accident was severe. No specifics about the accident's time or location were given by Trump. Following this announcement, Baird's office released a statement confirming his hospitalization but expressing optimism for his full recovery. Baird, a Vietnam war veteran, served in the Indiana House of Representatives before being elected to the US House of Representatives in 2018. His accident, along with the recent passing of Representative Doug LaMalfa, has further reduced the GOP majority in the House leading up to the 2026 midterm elections.
