Does anyone know what exactly happened to him? Mini stroke or something?

A former nurse I know called “Transient Ischemic Attack” - aka mini-stroke.

There have been quite a few doctors who have weighed in based on the media clips alone and said that it's extremely likely that is what is, but without actually diagnosing in-person it's hard to say 100%.

Some are theorizing Parkinson's or possibly early Alzheimers but that is all very speculative. We likely won't know until he is out of office.
