While Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is home recovering from pneumonia, her most powerful surrogate, President Barack Obama, will stump for her at a rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Obama’s appearance comes as 68-year-old Clinton was sidelined from the campaign trail by a bout of pneumonia that has raised broader questions about her health.
The day before, Clinton suddenly departed a 9/11 memorial, and video showed her stumbling as she entered her auto.
Clinton, who canceled a swing through California to rest, called in to Anderson Cooper’s show on Monday night to explain why she ignored her doctor’s “very wise advice” to rest for five days following her diagnosis on Friday.
Facing criticism for her lack of transparency, Clinton has promised to release additional medical records.
President Obama vented his displeasure at the media and the way the presidential campaign has been covered at a Hillary Clinton-less campaign rally for Hillary Clinton.
According to the NBC News/Survey Monkey tracking survey released on Tuesday, Clinton is trailed by Trump by only 4 percentage points, 48 to 44 percent, among registered voters.
She may not be able to vote for years, but Donald Trump Jr. has chose to use his daughter in continued attacks on Hillary Clinton.
Voters will choose the next USA president on November 8. “The other candidate is the first in decades who refuses to release any at all”, Obama said. Compare everything you know about me with my opponent.
At a rally on Monday, he said he was “shocked and alarmed” to hear Mrs Clinton “attack, slander, smear, demean these wonderful, fantastic people”. And despite the comment being widely perceived as a major gaffe, the Clinton campaign appears eager to pick a fight.
“And then you’ve got the Donald, who just last week went on Russian state television to talk down our military and to curry favor with Vladimir Putin”, Obama said.
He then moved on to Trump: “He complains about her health?”
President Obama says he’s not just going through the motions. “And I can tell you there’s nothing that happened yesterday that has changed that assessment at all”, Earnest said.
For myself, I will be satisfied with nothing less than his entire tax return and her personal genome. “What’s the cure for an unhealthy penchant for privacy that repeatedly creates unnecessary problems?”- has gone viral, and Ms. Clinton campaign managers said more information about her health will be made public.
