Before some 6,000 people in downtown Philadelphia, the USA president praised Clinton’s stamina and drive without ever addressing the lingering controversies that dominated her campaign over the weekend and Monday. She is to return to the campaign trail on Thursday, her spokesman Nick Merrill said Tuesday evening. While Clinton’s experience is attractive to some voters, others fear a continuation of the policies of President Barack Obama.

As Clinton seeks to become the first female US president, here are some of the more notable controversies that her campaign has had to address. After appearing to collapse outside a 9/11 memorial event on Sunday, the 68-year-old Clinton has remained at home recovering from what her doctor called “a mild non-contagious bacterial pneumonia”. Her campaign later revealed she had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday.
She was forced to leave a 9/11 memorial event in NY on Sunday and was seen stumbling limp-legged into a Secret Service vehicle.
That information won’t swing the election or anything, but the campaign hopes to forestall any more rumors about Clinton’s health and fitness to serve as president.
The United States is “uniquely bad at electing women to office”, the Virginia senator told a crowd at the University of MI, citing it a factor affecting her race against the NY billionaire.
The news on the political front has scarcely been better than Clinton’s medical revelations.
Trump and Hillary Clinton, 68, the Democrat facing him in the November 8 presidential election, have both promised to release more medical information. He is going to wait for his last day to say, ‘As my final act, I’d like to announce these wetlands as a national park, and also, Sharia law is our Constitution now.
Trump’s running mate Mike Pence, the IN governor and a former congressman, met with House Republicans on Capitol Hill, and said he and the nominee were “grateful” for the support from GOP lawmakers.
Clinton has expressed regret for saying “half”, but also said she would not back down from calling out “racist rhetoric” on the campaign trail.
“Donald Trump and I have denounced David Duke repeatedly”, Pence said.

The “deplorables” comment featured at a Trump rally in Asheville, North Carolina, on Monday night that saw a resumption of some of the violence that disrupted his events earlier this year.
