President Barack Obama will hit the campaign trail Tuesday to rally support for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania, a state that has served as a firewall for her party in the past six general elections but is now viewed as competitive.

Turning serious at the close of a rollicking campaign rally for Democrat Hillary Clinton, Obama allowed himself to “vent” about a Republican nominee who he said “isn’t fit in any way, shape or form to represent this country”.
Trump, in an interview Thursday morning on “Fox and Friends” said he is 6-foot-3 and 236 pounds – giving him a body mass index falling into the “overweight” range.
The campaign came under fire on Sunday, when Clinton fell ill at a ground zero commemoration of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
It is the third time that Obama has endorsed the former secretary of state, including his speech at the Democratic National Convention.
Clinton, 68, has blood pressure of 100 over 70.
The document included a highly specific account of the diagnosis and treatment of Clinton’s bout with pneumonia, including the dehydration that led to her fainting on Sunday.
According to her doctor, Clinton has received two vaccinations against pneumonia – Prevnar and Pneumovax – although it is not clear when she received those vaccinations.
Clinton has been off the trail since Sunday, attempting to recover from a case of pneumonia. She began to feel dizzy and almost collapsed while getting into a Secret Service van, which took her to her daughter Chelsea’s apartment to rest. When antibiotics and steroids didn’t initially clear things up, she had a myringotomy tube put in her left ear to drain fluid; the procedure eased her symptoms.Clinton’s doctors performed a full CT scan of her sinuses and brain at the time of the infection, and the results showed “no abnormalities of the brain”-a finding that runs counter to the fever dreams of conservatives who think Clinton is suffering from some bad affliction that renders her incapable of holding office”.
Similarly, Forbes ran a piece about how the surprising reveal in Clinton’s records is that “she appears to be a normal, healthy woman who happened to get an infection”. After a video emerged of her stumbling and being held up by aides, the campaign revealed she had been diagnosed with pneumonia days earlier.
The campaign’s long delay in providing information to the media and the public prompted criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike.
Clinton was resting at her home in Chappaqua, New York, on Tuesday. He did not mention Clinton’s health or her remarks at a fundraiser on Friday she had to walk back in which she called “half” of Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables” given to racism and bigotry. He said he’s not go into say “it’s all about her gender, but there’s a double standard”. Bardack said Clinton “became overheated and dehydrated” at the event. She was later diagnosed with a blod clot in her skull that was discovered during routine testing while recovering from her concussion.
Throughout the campaign, the real-estate magnate and his campaign haven’t shied away from their closer relationship with Russian Federation than many past Republican nominees.
Trump handed over some medical data Wednesday on “The Dr. Oz Show”, including the results of a recent physical exam.
Clinton has taken the blood-thinner Coumadin at least since previous year.

Even as Clinton is increasingly relying on Obama to carry her message to young and minority voters, the demands on the President’s time have largely forestalled an aggressive campaign schedule thus far. Bardack said then that the medication was discontinued when Clinton began taking Coumadin. Meanwhile, her team has called on Trump to release his own personal information. She will resume campaign travel on Thursday, he said.
