Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said on Monday she could resume campaigning in a “couple of days”, after a bout of pneumonia caused her to almost collapse at an event on Sunday and cancel some of her trips.

Her rival, Donald Trump, refrained from commenting about Ms Clinton’s health on twitter on Sunday, but told Fox News yesterday: “Something’s going on but I just hope she gets well and gets back on the trail and we’ll be seeing her at the debate”.
Clinton abruptly left a 9/11 anniversary event Sunday in NY and was seen on video stumbling and being held up by aides. Clinton’s spokesman Nick Merrill eventually said Clinton had gone to her daughter’s nearby apartment, but refused to say whether she had required medical attention. “But once I got in [the vehicle], once I could sit down, once I could cool off, once I had some water, I immediately started feeling better”.
Both Clinton, 68, and Republican rival Donald Trump, 70, said they meant to release more of their medical details in the coming days, as their campaigns gear up for the November 8 election. But with Hillary Clinton continuing her recuperation from pneumonia, Trump and his team are also peddling a falsehood-that Clinton’s campaign is policy-free.
The Democratic presidential candidate abruptly left Sunday’s event after feeling “overheated”. Video appears to show her legs giving way as she attempts to walk toward the van.
The incident on Sunday raised questions drummed up by Republicans in recent months over her health and a purported penchant for secrecy and lack of transparency.
Clinton said if Hillary Clinton is elected president, the foundation will continue operating his presidential library, working on community health and operating the Clinton Global Initiative for university students.
For myself, I will be satisfied with nothing less than his entire tax return and her personal genome.
She said she’s now taking her doctor’s advice, which she previously ignored, to take some time to get over her pneumonia completely.
The Democratic presidential candidate said in an interview on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that she felt dizzy and “did lose my balance”, while waiting for the motorcade.
Hillary Clinton’s health concerns have forced her to abandon her campaign tour. Her campaign later revealed she’d been diagnosed Friday with pneumonia – a disclosure that fueled arguments that the Democratic nominee isn’t sufficiently forthcoming about important details. Goldstein says it hurts her campaign when Hillary becomes the story.
“They say pneumonia on Friday, but she was coughing very, very badly a week ago and even before that if you remember, and this was not the first time”, he told CNBC. Trump, a NY businessman, has made no secret of his affinity for fast food, sometimes sharing photos of himself on his campaign jet or at Trump Tower enjoying fried chicken, hamburgers and a taco bowl. She was then driven to her home in suburban Chappaqua, New York. That was a mistake, Fallon said. “It is just the kind of thing that if it happens to you and you are a busy, active person, you keep moving forward”, Clinton, 68, told CNN in an interview last night.

Clinton is at home resting under doctor’s orders. By the end of the day, she was “rehydrated and recovering nicely”, the doctor said. She used her Republican National Convention speech to talk about child care issues, though her father has barely mentioned it on the campaign trail.
