After the incident: Hillary Clinton’s campaign said the Democratic presidential nominee left the 9/11 anniversary ceremony in NY early after feeling “overheated”. Her doctor has said she is suffering from pneumonia.

Late Sunday morning, Clinton appeared in front of her daughter’s home, greeting a young girl and telling a crowd of reporters that she is “feeling much better”.

The campaign said she was feeling “overheated” at the Ground Zero event at the site where al-Qaida terrorists on September 11, 2001 smashed two jetliners into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, toppling them both and killing almost 3,000 people.

“Since we can’t get that done for taxes, I don’t think we’re going to get it done for health”, he said, referencing Trump’s refusal to match Clinton’s release of her personal tax records. She “felt overheated”, during the ceremony, according to spokesman Nick Merrill, and departed for her daughter Chelsea’s apartment in the Flatiron neighborhood of Manhattan.

“A large part of the presidential election: who would rather have a beer with, who would you rather have as your uncle, who would you look and looks and sounds like a leader is opposed to somebody who seems feeble and frail and not up to the job”, Jatras said, adding that Clinton’s health issues are obviously playing to her disadvantage in the presidential race.

Camp Hill resident and CNN analyst Jeffrey Lord said that’s a smart move.

“Secretary Clinton has been experiencing a cough related to allergies”.

Clinton has no known drug allergies, does not smoke, use tobacco products or illicit drugs and drinks occasionally, according to Bardack, who also details her exercise regime: yoga, swimming, walking and weight training.

A top Trump adviser, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, fueled this stuff, and with this was before Sunday, by suggesting in interviews and on Twitter – with no evidence – that Clinton had health issues.

The letter also noted a concussion Clinton sustained in 2012. “The more she pushes, the harder it is for her to recover”, she said.

Trump, 70, has said Clinton is “not strong enough to be president” and that she “lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS”.

“I won’t stop calling out bigotry and racist rhetoric in this campaign”, she said.

The release comes after speculation on her health has spread from her Republican rival Donald Trump and others in the GOP to others after she stumbled and fell Sunday after leaving a 9/11 memorial event early.

“Feels like a good day for Clinton to release her medical records and call on Trump to do same”.

The former first lady has dismissed “conspiracy theories” about her health and pointed to a letter from her doctor declaring her fit to serve as president.

In follow-up evaluations, she was found to have a transverse sinus venous thrombosis – in other words, a blood clot in the brain.

“The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic – you name it”.

“There are so many of them”, she said, “I’ve lost track of them”.

Trump slammed the remarks as “INSULTING”, “disgraceful”, a “grotesque attack on American voters”, and “the worst mistake of the political season”.
