Sarah Palin cancels Trump appearance after husband Todd is hospitalized

Sarah Palin referenced her husband’s ‘little wreck on a snow machine’ during a surprise appearance at a Trump rally in Tampa, Florida

Sarah Palin’s husband Todd has been seriously injured in a snowmobile accident, it emerged on Monday.

The former Alaska governor canceled a planned campaign appearance with Donald Trump on Monday morning, the Trump campaign announced.

Palin appeared, however, at an afternoon rally in Tampa, Florida, where she told the crowd that her husband was in intensive care.

A previous Trump campaign statement had said that Palin was returning to Alaska “to be with her husband and looks forward to being back on the campaign trail soon”.

Todd Palin, 51, is a champion snow machine, or snowmobile, racer. Sarah Palin, 2008 Republican nominee John McCain’s running mate, endorsed Trump for president last month.
