Carly Fiorina falls off stage at Cruz event

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WISH) – Vice Presidential candidate Carly Fiorina had a flub while introducing Ted Cruz on Sunday in Lafayette.

As Fiorina finished her speech she walked backwards toward the curtain and fell off the stage. Neither Ted Cruz or his wife Heidi ran to help her. It appears as though a Secret Service agent helped her up and back on the stage. She then continues to shake hands and hug people and then walks back through the curtain.

Cruz named former technology executive Fiorina, who he said has repeatedly “shattered glass ceilings” to serve as his running mate. He announced his pick for vice president at an Indianapolis rally, an unusual move for an underdog candidate that reflects the increasing urgency for the fiery conservative to reverse his downward trajectory.
