Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani appeared to trip and fall into seats on the floor of the Republican National Convention (RNC) on Tuesday.
Video footage posted to X showed Giuliani walking in the aisle between the rows of chairs alongside several people when he tripped and fell into some chairs.
Rudy Giuliani is here at the Republican National Convention and tripped and fell on the floor.
He was helped up and seemed to be OK. He was holding an Osmo camera and continued filming once he was back on his feet.

Several people nearby quickly rushed over to assist Giuliani and help him up off the ground.
Taylor Popielarz, a National Political Reporter for Spectrum News Washington D.C. wrote in a post that Giuliani “seemed to be OK” and had been “holding an Osmo camera and continued filming” after he was helped back to his feet.
“For the record: the seating floor is a few inches lower than the red carpeted walkways,” Tia Mitchell, a Washington Correspondent with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote in a post. “Everyone has been falling off. Now Giuliani was apparently walking in a straight line, so I get the questions. But just providing context as to why he fell completely down.”
