Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said the health of the candidates for the November 8 election was “an issue” following Clinton’s diagnosis.

In a brief telephone interview with CNN, Clinton, who left early on September 11 memorial service on Sunday in NY, said that she was now “feeling so much better” and that she would be back on the campaign trail in “the next few days”.
While her doctor said that she is recovering nicely, she nor the campaign have explained what caused the pneumonia, prompting more questions than answers as to the exact state of her health, as well as demands for a broad release of her medical records.
The video set of an unusual controversy, with her staff initially saying Clinton was overheated and dehydrated, before later admitting that she is suffering from pneumonia.
Clinton said in the live telephone interview with CNN that she started to feel hot at the event, which took place on a muggy day in NY.
“In retrospect, we could have handled it better in terms of providing more information more quickly”, Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon told NBC News. “And I think the incident where she needs assistance to get into the van and there’s a video of that that’s been endlessly replayed, I think that feeds that stereotype”.
It had been easy for the Clinton camp to summarily dismiss these concerns as political nonsense. Shkreli then heckles her, demanding that she step down from the presidential race, before voicing support for Trump. Ramirez-Rosa said. What happened Sunday in NY has put new importance on the first presidential debate two weeks from Monday night in NY. She never lost consciousness, Fallon said. The first of three debates is scheduled for September 26. Trump told CNBC on Monday he would probably release information about his own health this week. ‘I think they’re going to be good; I feel great’.
In July 2015, Mrs Clinton released a two-page letter outlining her medical condition that sought to reassure Americans about her health after she fell and suffered a concussion at home in 2012 near the end of her tenure as secretary of state.
The incident compounds a hard time for Clinton as the race enters its final stretch.
Clinton’s “frequently” slip is not included in CBS’s broadcast of the interview.
Mr Trump had suggested for weeks that Mrs Clinton lacked the energy needed to be president.
On Monday, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed called the reaction to Clinton’s potential health issues sexist and nonsense.
Piscopo pointed to some of Trump’s more famous displays of masculinity, including the boasting on the size of his penis, the condescending treatment of women and his affinity for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
On Sunday, Clinton left the 9/11 memorial an hour earlier than planned. She had spent about 90 minutes standing with other dignitaries in the sun on a warm and humid day. He has raised questions about her stamina, reprising a tactic from the Republican primary campaign when he derided rival Jeb Bush as a “low-energy” candidate. Aides provided no information about why she left or her whereabouts for almost two hours.
“She’s doing fine, she was even better last night before she went to sleep”, he continued.
Asked if she passed out during the incident on Sunday, she said: “No, I didn’t”.
He later described Clinton’s remarks at the Barbara Streisand fundraiser in NY as “shocking”.
Clinton had previously attributed a cough she had to allergies, but she was diagnosed Friday with pneumonia, her doctor said. Clinton has released all her cholesterol levels; Trump has released his PSA. “Somebody who keeps a breakneck pace, traveled the globe”.
