Republican presidential candidate and former Arkansas Mike Huckabee (R) is scheduled to have knee surgery over the Thanksgiving holiday so he has time to recuperate without missing campaign events, ABC News reported Tuesday.

“About two weeks ago, I was walking through an airport in South Carolina, heard this loud pop, and everybody around me said, ‘What was that?’ I said, ‘That was my knee,'” Huckabee said at a campaign stop, according to ABC.

Huckabee said that he has bone chips “floating around in there,” according to ABC.
