The Democratic presidential candidate abruptly left Sunday’s event after feeling “overheated”. A video posted by a bystander on Twitter appeared to show Clinton extremely unsteady and supported by aides, being helped from the curb into a vehicle.

“I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely”, Dr. Lisa R. Bardick said in the statement, which wasn’t released until after Clinton was recorded on video appearing unsteady as she left the September 11 commemoration in an SUV.
Clinton also differentiated between drawing on long-standing relationships around Washington and the kind of “pay-to-play” allegations some have leveled at the foundation, saying he doesn’t know of any instance where someone donated to the foundation specifically to get face time with his wife. The next few days and weeks might be rough as she battles a nasty cough and some fatigue, but she’ll likely bounce back fast. “I’m still actually recovering from the cough that I got through that”.
He went so far as to claim that Clinton has disclosed the amount of information-which he said has been substantial-about her health that is typical of presidential nominees. “And obviously that didn’t work out so well”, she said. “But I got in, once I could sit down, once I could cool off, once I got some water, I immediately started feeling better”.
Fallon, however, said “there is no other undisclosed condition” Clinton suffers from.
According to former New York Times Editor Jill Abramson, much of this criticism stems from sexist stereotypes.
But Barnwell has an ironclad alibi to prove that she was not in NY.
The former first lady has dismissed rumors about her health, but Trump has repeatedly raised doubts about Clinton’s stamina and physical strength, and he questioned her campaign’s account of the current episode.
“In retrospect, we could have handled it better”, Fallon said. He said in a one-minute phone interview on Fox & Friends, “I really just don’t know”. “That’s on us and we regret that”.
Clinton’s doctor, Lisa Bardack, MD, revealed to CNN that the Democratic nominee for president was diagnosed on Friday, given antibiotics, and told to rest.
Her spokesperson initially said she had become overheated and dehydrated but later confirmed the pneumonia diagnosis.
Clinton’s health scare after she nearly collapsed at an event on Sunday, causing her to cancel some campaign trips, revived concerns about a tendency toward secrecy that has dogged her campaign, and underscored perennial worries about the medical fitness of candidates for one of the world’s most demanding jobs.
“I’m feeling great, it’s a attractive day in New York”, Clinton said. “It was her decision to want to press on”, Fallon said in an interview on CNN.
All Monday members of Clinton’s campaign, including running mate Tim Kaine, were in damage control mode.
“I’ll be releasing, when the numbers come, hopefully they are going to be good, I think they are going to be good, I feel great, but when the numbers come in, I’ll be releasing very, very specific numbers”, he said. Clinton is 68 years old. Doctors said they found a blood clot on the brain. The episode was also sure to fuel a vocal group of online conspiracy theorists, deemed “healthers” by some Clinton supporters, who frequently point to videos and photos of Clinton as evidence of her poor health.

“She did not lose consciousness, she stumbled getting into the van”, Mook said. The rules on replacing candidates vary from party to party. Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, who supported runner-up Bernie Sanders in the primary campaign, refused to consider the possibility: “That is such a amusing question”.
