Hillary Clinton’s health concerns have forced her to abandon her campaign tour.

Aaron Regunberg, a Democratic state representative from Rhode Island, said he was “surprised and concerned” that the race is so tight.
Hillary Clinton almost fainted at a 9/11 memorial event on Sunday in NY, went to her daughter’s apartment to rest, and hours later, sent out a body double who was thinner and younger looking than her.
“In retrospect, we could have handled it better”, Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said Monday.
When Hillary Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia late last week, she informed a handful of her closest advisers, but pressed on with a busy campaign schedule and did not inform the public that she was sick. Hillary was asked to comment on this and was asked how many times she had experienced something like this in the past five years.
“I don’t expect Clinton to step down”. Clinton vowed to return to the campaign trail within the “next couple of days”. Clinton’s campaign is also running a sophisticated voter targeting and turnout operation, led by several people involved in President Barack Obama’s winning campaigns, while Trump is banking on the Republican National Committee for his field operations.
Describing the likely cause of what happened, Clinton told interviewer Charlie Rose, taking care with each word he chose: ‘Frequently, not frequently … rarely but on more than one occasion over the last many many years – same sort of thing’s happened to her when she’s gotten severely dehydrated, ‘ Clinton said.
Clinton, 68, said she had dealt with similar episodes of dizziness before. He wasn’t giving up on Twitter, adding that his reasoning is that he does not trust Russian President Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee who has expressed admiration for Putin.
Less than half of American voters believe Hillary Clinton about what caused her to apparently stumble and buckle at the knees as she tried to get into a vehicle after the 9/11 memorial service in NY. I wonder what kind of reception Omalu will get the next time he testifies before Congress … or if we hear much from him in the future at all after this. “He has not released one”, she alleged.
Clinton pushed back against that idea Monday night, telling CNN that “people know more about me than nearly anyone in public life”.
“We’re going to be releasing more information”, she said.
In the previous poll by the same organistion a few weeks ago, Clinton was leading Trump in double digits. Top surrogates flooded the television airwaves Monday explaining, repeatedly, that Clinton had hoped to “power through” a pneumonia diagnosis before she fell ill in public over the weekend.
Trump will unveil the plans in a speech in a Philadelphia suburb, a key area in a vital swing state as Trump tries to build his appeal with more moderate, independent voters – especially women.
To be sure, Clinton continues to have numerous advantages over Trump as the race presses into its final weeks.
An overall average from polls of the state compiled by Real Clear Politics shows there is just a fraction of a point between the two candidates, with Trump seeing overall results of 44.3 and Clinton on 44.2.
