The Democratic nominee’s own health has been under scrutiny as she’s been recovering from a bout of pneumonia.

Clinton was campaigning Thursday in Greensboro, North Carolina, and speaking to a Hispanic group in Washington.
The Democratic nominee, who will be going head to head with Donald Trump in the United States election in just two months’ time, took three days off to recuperate. “A plan that will make a real difference in people’s lives, not prejudice and paranoia”.
Clinton’s health made headlines over the weekend after she was captured on video struggling to walk at a 9/11 memorial.
The new letter from Clinton’s doctor stated that a chest scan revealed she had “mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia”.
Mrs Clinton was taken ill Sunday during a 9/11 memorial ceremony in NY where she was seen stumbling limp-legged into her vehicle, an episode that raised tough questions about her campaign’s transparency. She was diagnosed with non-infectious pneumonia last Friday, but did not disclose her illness.
She admitted she probably should have taken a pause from the campaign earlier and said, “My campaign has said that they could have been faster” about disseminating information to the public, “I agree with that”.
Both candidates have since released additional medical records.
The more comprehensive release from Trump comes a day after his rival Hillary Clinton released a letter from her doctor explaining her recent health history. Both were pronounced by their doctors to be fit to serve as president.
Clinton, 68, has blood pressure of 100 over 70, and her total cholesterol is 189, according to her doctor.
When President Barack Obama delivered his primetime address supporting Hillary Clinton at this year’s Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, he received a standing ovation when he said that nobody has been more qualified than Clinton to be president.
According to a CNN/ORC poll released on Wednesday, in a four-way race in Ohio, Mr Trump would get 46 per cent of the vote to Mrs Clinton’s 41 per cent. Both candidates’ physicians declared them fit to serve as president.
In keeping with Trump’s unusual approach to transparency, the Republican handed over a one-page summary of his recent exam to Dr. Mehmet Oz while taping an episode of Oz’s show.
Host Seth Meyers criticizes Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables” comment as a mark of her affluence. Voters also think she would do a better job than Trump on immigration, and they trust her more than the GOP nominee when it comes to making decisions about sending US troops overseas and handling foreign policy.
And a gender gap is still apparent between the two candidates, with Trump securing a double-digit lead ahead of Clinton among men, while she has a similar margin over him among women. Trump nearly certainly needs to carry the state in order to win the White House, while Clinton’s team is eager to block his path.
“North Carolina has not always been, but has emerged as, a bonafide battleground state this year, said Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill”.

A Quinnipiac poll on Thursday found that voters by-and-large think Clinton is more qualified to be president than Trump.
