Clinton’s campaign said the Democratic presidential nominee left the 9/11 anniversary ceremony in NY early after feeling “overheated”.

Clinton’s campaign was severely criticised for waiting two days to reveal the 68-year-old candidate had pneumonia and for failing to disclose for 90 minutes what had happened when she exited the memorial event.
Campaign press secretary Brian Fallon acknowledged that mistakes were made and said the campaign could have handled the situation better.
“I think it is fair to say that people know more about me than nearly anyone in public life. It’s a lovely day in NY”.
“Well if it is, it’s a mystery to me and all of her doctors”, Clinton said.
When asked by Cooper whether the confusion surrounding Clinton’s illness should fuel mistrust among voters, the candidate cited the lack of medical information offered by her opponent, Donald Trump, compared to the report put out by her team.
Asked whether she fainted, Clinton replied: “No, I didn’t”.
Clinton continued: “What happened yesterday was that I just was incredibly committed to being at the memorial”.
“I still think that we are likely to win, but I think anyone who’s not concerned about a bigoted, KKK-endorsed sociopath being this close right now in the polls is not living in reality”, Regunberg said of Trump.
“I’ll be releasing very, very specific numbers”, he said on Fox and Friends.
Reuters noted that the 70-year-old real estate mogul has released less information regarding his health to the public than Clinton has.
Neither candidate has yet released any detailed medical information although both have released letters from their doctors.
Former President Bill Clinton said Monday that wife Hillary’s unsteadiness the previous day was prompted by nothing more than dehydration, and that the Democratic presidential nominee had experienced similar episodes in the past.
She said she told others at Sunday’s memorial, including Sen. “She was full-steam ahead”. Late Sunday evening, she canceled a California campaign swing scheduled for early this week.
In an unexpected turn, Trump also wished Clinton a speedy recovery. “So I just want to get this over and done with and get back on the trail as soon as possible”. “You know, it’s really past time for him to be held to the same standard – not just as me, but of everybody else who has sought this job”.
“If you look at the way the last couple months have gone, it feels like the race should be further apart”, said Greg Haas, an Ohio-based Democratic strategist and former county party chairman. She is seen on video losing her footing while boarding an airplane and during coughing fits at campaign appearances: “I don’t want Hillary to win but I want her to be healthy”, said Dan Proft, host of AM 560 The Answer.
“Like anyone who’s ever been home sick from work, I’m just anxious to get back out there”, she wrote.
