Hillary Clinton will hit the campaign trail Thursday, marking her first public appearance since cameras caught her leaving daughter’s Manhattan apartment, where she was rushed after collapsing as she left a 9/11 memorial event in lower Manhattan.
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton took to Twitter on Thursday with a video that accuses Donald Trump of “hiding” a long list of things from the American public.
Donald Trump’s proposal to create a new federal program offering six weeks of partially paid maternity leave is winning few Republican supporters in Congress.
Until Trump is willing to make the concession himself, it’s likely the matter will still dog him, as it did on Thursday when Hillary Clinton went after him for that interview.
Her illness coincided with a mini-surge by Trump, who has drawn even or taken a slight lead in national polls.
Clinton continues to be dragged down by voters’ mistrust in her, but she still maintains more pathways than Trump to the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the White House.
With less than two months from election day, Clinton’s standing with Americans has contributed to a race that is tighter than both parties expected.
Ninety-four percent of Clinton voters and 92 percent of Trump voters said they’ll continue to support their candidate come Election Day on November 8, according to The New York Times/CBS News poll.
Clinton said she will answer more questions after a campaign speech in Greensboro, N.C., Wednesday afternoon.
In keeping with Trump’s unusual approach to transparency, the billionaire businessman handed over a one-page summary of his recent exam to Dr Mehmet Oz while taping an episode of Oz’s show.
“When Hillary’s opponent says, ‘I’m going to make America great again, ‘ let me tell you, you have to be a certain age – and it helps to be a white Southern man. He called her a ‘nervous mess, ‘” Clinton said. “I didn’t. Now I have and I’m back on the campaign trail”. Dr. Lisa Bardack, chair of internal medicine at CareMount Medical in Mount Kisco, New York, said Clinton was treated with a 10-day course of Levaquin, an antibiotic used to treat infections. Clinton’s doctor gave her the diagnosis on Friday and recommended she take five days off to rest, Clinton told CNN.
In a not-so-subtle slap at Clinton, the Trump campaign said his medical report showed he “has the stamina to endure – uninterrupted – the rigours of a punishing and unprecedented presidential campaign and, more importantly, the singularly demanding job of president of the United States”.

Bardack said Clinton’s cholesterol and blood pressure are within normal ranges.
