WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst is doing OK after a fellow senator, Rand Paul of Kentucky, had to perform the Heimlich maneuver on the Iowa Republican when she choked on food during a closed-door GOP lunch Thursday.

“Can’t help but choke on the woke policies Dems are forcing down our throats. Thanks, Dr. @RandPaul!,” Ernst wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, quoting an earlier post from a Politico reporter about the incident.

Ernst’s office said later Thursday that she’s fine, but didn’t provide further details.

Paul became an ophthalmologist after graduating from Duke University with a medical degree in 1988.

South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham told reporters afterward that he appreciated Paul’s actions.

“God bless Rand Paul,” Graham said, according to a Washington Post reporter’s post on X. “I never thought I’d say that.”
