Brian Fallon, spokesperson for Hillary Clinton's campaign, stated following reports of the Democratic nominee's illness that she has no other health issues besides the pneumonia recently diagnosed, and she will soon return to the campaign trail. Mr. Fallon, in an interview with MSNBC on September 22, said that Ms. Clinton 'has no other unknown health conditions. The only thing is pneumonia.' The Democratic nominee for the U.S. presidential election in November had to leave the memorial for the victims of the September 11 attacks in New York early due to 'overheating.' Hours later, Dr. Lisa Bardack, Clinton's physician, announced the pneumonia diagnosis. Dr. Bardack stated that after persistent coughing last Friday, examinations revealed she had pneumonia. Following the doctor's recommendation for rest, Clinton's campaign announced that her schedule for the next two days would be canceled. Brian Fallon emphasized in the MSNBC interview that the Democratic nominee would soon return to the competition: 'We expect her to return to the campaign trail in the middle of this week or by the weekend.' Fallon mentioned that if it were up to Clinton, she would not even rest today and would return to the competition. Events on Sunday showed images of Ms. Clinton appearing to need assistance from her companions to get into a vehicle after leaving the memorial, which has raised further speculation about her health status. Last week, the Democratic nominee was also seen coughing repeatedly during her campaign in Cleveland. Some analysts suggest that her health status will become a significant issue in the upcoming days during the competition. Scott Lucas, a professor of American studies at the University of Birmingham, told Radio Farda, 'The Democrats want Clinton to be in the best health for the first debate, which is about two weeks away. If it appears that she has health problems at that time, it will create a serious issue for her campaign.' The spokesperson for Clinton's campaign stated that they would soon release a report on the health status of the Democratic nominee 'to address any existing concerns.'
