Hillary Clinton calls 2016 pneumonia campaigning a ‘mistake’
Hillary Clinton has revisited her 2016 near-fainting episode during a 9/11 commemoration ceremony in New York City, describing her decision to continue campaigning while ill as a ‘mistake.’
Speaking on a podcast with Kara Swisher, Clinton noted that her doctors had diagnosed her with pneumonia and advised her to take several days off to rest. Despite this, she chose to attend the event because of its significance to her former role as a senator. The incident, which involved her appearing to stagger and struggle to reach a vehicle, became a viral moment during her presidential campaign against Donald Trump.
During the discussion, Clinton also addressed recent rumors regarding Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico, comparing his recent absence from the campaign trail to her own experience in 2016.
