A debate for a vacant Senate seat in New Jersey briefly turned into a scary situation as candidate Curtis Bashaw froze up for several seconds during what was described as a ‘medical episode.’
Bashaw, 63, is the Republican nominee for the Senate seat left empty by the resignation of indicted Democrat ‘Gold Bars’ Bob Menendez.
The GOP hopeful participated in his first debate against Democrat opponent Andy Kim, a two-term Congressman who beat Governor Phil Murphy’s wife to the nomination.
The debate was briefly derailed at the start when Bashaw stopped speaking mid-sentence and stared ahead, nonresponsive.
Bashaw was initially assisted by opponent Kim before he was helped from the stage and left the room for roughly 10 minutes.
