Glad to hear he's doing well! The heat these days is no joke. Maybe politicians should avoid outdoor events during peak afternoon hours? Stay hydrated everyone! 💧

Wishing him speedy recovery! It's scary how quickly dehydration can affect you. This is a good reminder for all of us to carry water bottles especially in summer.

While I'm glad he's okay, I wonder if event organizers could do better with providing shaded areas and hydration stations. This isn't the first time we've seen heat-related incidents at political rallies.

Heat waves are becoming more intense every year. This incident shows how vulnerable we all are, regardless of age or position. Let's take care of ourselves and check on elderly neighbors too! ❤️

Good to see leaders being transparent about health issues. Wishing him continued good health. Maybe this will encourage more people to take heat warnings seriously.
