North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum was injured during a pick-up basketball game with his staff Tuesday and was taken to an emergency room in Milwaukee, on the eve of the first Republican presidential primary debate, according to a source familiar with his injury and a campaign source.
He spent several hours in the emergency room to treat a leg injury, according to a source close to Burgum, and he is seeing whether he's capable of getting on his feet. A campaign source
Burgum tore his Achilles tendon, according to a campaign spokesman. He went on his debate walk-through on crutches. It looks like he will be able to attend the debate but has a doctor's appointment this afternoon beforehand.
CNN first reported Burgum's injury.
In a social media post, Burgum thanked well wishers for their support after his injury.
Burgum, in order to meet the donor threshold set by the Republican National Committee, offered donors $20 gift cards for $1 donations. The first debate required candidates to collect 40,000 individual donors, with at least 200 unique donors per state, as well as poll at 1% in three RNC-sanctioned polls, or 1% in two other national polls and two polls from key states.
