Wilson (R-S.C.) was at an event celebrating Ukrainian independence and was treated at the scene by a doctor who was among those in attendance, according to a person familiar with the situation.

The person was granted anonymity to discuss the event before full details had been publicly released.

Since then, Wilson has easily won reelection in his heavily *********** district in central and southwest South Carolina.
