Video from CNN shows her waving to the crowd and taking a photograph with a young child before departing. The Democratic nominee for president then went to the Clintons’ home in Chappaqua, N.Y., where she was examined by Bardack. During the ceremony, she felt overheated so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment, and is feeling much better. Her campaign Friday said Clinton will discuss her “vision for an America that is stronger together and to build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top”. After Clinton left the ceremony, the reporters following her on the campaign trail were prevented from leaving the media area for a period of time.

The news of her “overheating” on the hot, muggy NY morning came less than 60 days before the November 8 presidential election and at a time of intense campaigning against Republican rival Donald Trump.
Clinton’s incident came less than a day after she tried to manage the fallout from her remarks at a NY fundraiser on Friday, during which she said “half” of Trump’s supporters fall into a “basket of deplorables” – “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it”.
About an hour into the ceremony, Clinton became overheated and had to leave early.
She appeared to stumble as she was helped into the vehicle, and had to be held up on either side by members of her entourage. A number of New York’s current and former elected officials had been standing in silence as the names of the victims of the attacks were read.

It is unclear whether she intends to continue campaigning closer to home, or whether her plans to campaign in Las Vegas on Wednesday will also be disrupted. “It’s a handsome day”.
