Indiana U.S. Rep. Jim Baird is expected to make a full recovery after his vehicle was struck in a car accident that hospitalized him, the Republican's office said Tuesday.
“He is extraordinarily grateful for everyone’s prayers during this time,” Baird's congressional office said in a statement.
The statement did not include further details about the crash. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the congressman's wife was also hospitalized.
“They’re going to be okay, but they had a pretty bad accident, and we’re praying that they get out of that hospital very quickly,” Trump said while speaking to House GOP members at a retreat at the Kennedy Center. “He’s going to be fine. She’s going to be fine.”
Baird, who represents the 4th Congressional District in west central Indiana, was first elected to congress in 2019. He is 80 years old.
House Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa of California has died at the age of 65, according to information released Tuesday. Details surrounding his death were not immediately provided.
LaMalfa represented a large portion of Northern California and served as chair of the Congressional Western Caucus, where he was a leading voice on agriculture, land use and rural policy issues.
His death further narrows the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, bringing the balance to 218 Republicans and 213 Democrats.
House leaders are expected to announce arrangements and next steps in the coming days.

What Venezuela's Post-Maduro Economy Could Look Like
With Steve Moore, Committee to Unleash Prosperity, former economist at the Trump White House, author of the daily “Hotline” newsletter from the Committee to Unleash Prosperity.
The Trump administration is planning to meet with executives from U.S. oil companies later this week to discuss boosting oil production in Venezuela, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The discussions would come in the wake of the U.S.-led operation that ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolás
Maduro and could mark a major shift in American energy involvement in the South American nation. The administration is exploring ways to bring U.S. oil companies back into Venezuela after the government there took control of U.S.-led energy operations nearly two decades ago.
The White House declined to comment directly on the planned meetings but said it believes U.S. industry is prepared to move into Venezuela.
U.S. health officials are investigating ongoing measles outbreaks in South Carolina and other states to determine if they are unrelated to last year’s major outbreak in Texas. The country must show the cases are unconnected to retain its World Health Organization measles elimination designation.
On the fifth anniversary of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, there will be no official government memorial.
President Donald Trump is meeting privately with House Republicans for a policy forum at the Kennedy Center, while Democrats are holding a hearing and gathering on the Capitol steps to mark the day. The events come as lawmakers and the public reflect on the deadly attack that left five people dead, including law enforcement officers.
A jury has been seated in the trial of a former school police officer accused of mishandling the law enforcement response to the 2022 Uvalde school shooting.
Former Uvalde schools officer Adrian Gonzales faces charges of failing to protect children after authorities waited more than an hour to confront the gunman at Robb Elementary. Gonzales is one of two officers charged in connection with the attack that left 19 students and two teachers dead.
The trial is expected to draw close attention as it examines the actions of law enforcement during one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.
U.S. flu infections surged over the holidays, and health officials are calling it a severe season that is likely to get worse.
New government data posted Monday — for flu activity through the week of Christmas — showed that by some measures this season is already surpassing the flu epidemic of last winter, one of the harshest in recent history.
The data was released the same day that the Trump administration said it will no longer recommend flu shots and some other types of vaccines for all children.
Forty-five states were reporting high or very high flu activity during the week of Christmas, up from 30 states the week before.
The higher numbers appear to be driven by the type of flu that’s been spreading, public health experts say.
One type of flu virus, called A H3N2, historically has caused the most hospitalizations and deaths in older people. So far this season, that’s the type most frequently reported. Even more concerning, more than 90% of the H3N2 infections analyzed were a new version — known as the subclade K variant — that differs from the strain in this year’s flu shots.
Flu seasons often don’t peak until January or February, so it’s too early to know how big a problem that mismatch will be.
“The fact that we’ve seen steady increases over the last several weeks without much of a decline or even a flattening would suggest to me that we’ve got the peak ahead of us,” said Dr. Robert Hopkins, medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
