Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who has been staying at home since swooning at a 9/11 memorial ceremony due to pneumonia, will return to campaign trail on Thursday, her Campaign twittered Tuesday.

De Blasio said questions about Clinton’s health are nonsense, especially since she released a report from her doctor.
The day before, Clinton suddenly departed a 9/11 memorial, and video showed her stumbling as she entered her vehicle.
Discussing the event itself, Clinton explained: ‘I felt dizzy and I did lose my balance for a minute’. “And I need you to join me!”, Obama added.
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has had previous health episodes similar to Sunday’s near collapse, according to her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
Clinton said she didn’t immediately disclose her pneumonia diagnosis because she “just didn’t think it was going to be that big a deal”. Clinton should not get extra scrutiny because of her sex, but she should not expect less, either.
“I think people understand that Hillary Clinton, as great of [a] woman as she is, is just that – a human being”.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Mr Obama does not feel like he needs to help Mrs Clinton with damage control.
“So I think the President’s belief that she would be an excellent President of the United States is something that you have heard him say many times. And I can tell you there’s nothing that happened yesterday that has changed that assessment at all”, Earnest said.
She stressed instead that ‘transparency and trustworthiness are her two pillar problems, ‘ and that Clinton suffered ‘the worst 48 hours of her campaign’.
“I think really only twice that I can recall”.
The almost eight-hour gap between when Clinton was first reported to have stumbled and when her campaign disclosed her pneumonia has revived questions about her penchant for secrecy.
“You know, you don’t grade the presidency on a curve”, he said.
She felt well enough to go straight to her daughter’s apartment to see her grandchildren, “which you know is the best medicine for anything in my life”.
Clinton’s campaign on Monday (12 September) announced it would release further medical records in the coming days after being criticised for withholding information regarding her health.
Both Clinton and Trump, 70, said they meant to release more of their medical details in the coming days, as their campaigns gear up for the November election.
