Rep. Joe Wilson to Be Discharged After Pacemaker Surgery

The South Carolina congressman is recovering quickly after collapsing at an event earlier this week.

Rep. Joe Wilson, 77, is expected to leave the hospital in a matter of days after receiving a pacemaker.
Wilson collapsed on September 10 during an event celebrating Ukraine's Independence Day in Washington, D.C.
Doctors reported Wilson experienced stroke-like symptoms leading to the implantation of the pacemaker.
He has represented South Carolina's 2nd Congressional District since 2001 and is currently seeking reelection.
Wilson's hospitalization occurred as House Republicans were attempting to secure votes for a crucial spending bill.
