Wolf Blitzer looked to be on the verge of vomiting while interviewing Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin during a live broadcast on CNN Thursday.
The camera cut away after his visible discomfort, leaving viewers to wonder if he was OK. When the show continued, chief legal affairs correspondent Paula Reid was at the helm.
The network later told New York Times reporter Michael M. Grynbaum, “Wolf wasn’t feeling 100% while anchoring Thursday night. He looks forward to being back in the ‘Situation Room’ and appreciates the well wishes.”
When the moment happened, fans shared their concern on X (formerly Twitter).
“Ummm is Wolf Blitzer ok?” tweeted Nick Carey-Guillory, a sentiment shared by other X users.
Another wrote, “What happened to Wolf Blitzer? [‘The Situation Room’] suddenly cut off during a live interview with Biden ally U.S. Raskin. Went to a very long ad break and a new anchor is handling the show? Hope everyone is ok.”
The 75-year-old anchor himself tweeted about an hour later, “I’m fine! Thanks for the well wishes. I’ll see you back in the Situation Room soon.”
