Hillary Clinton will hit the campaign trail Thursday, marking her first public appearance since cameras caught her leaving her daughter’s Manhattan apartment, where she was rushed after collapsing as she left a 9/11 memorial event in lower Manhattan.
Clinton will spend the day campaigning in Greensboro, North Carolina, and speaking to a Hispanic group in Washington.
After a video emerged Sunday of her collapsing as she entered a Secret Service vehicle and being held up by aides, her campaign revealed she had been diagnosed with pneumonia days earlier.
“Clinton will deliver remarks in Greensboro, North Carolina, and discuss her vision for an America that is stronger together,” the campaign announced.
“Strong Together” is her official campaign slogan — and the title of a book she and her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), released last week.
The book, however, has failed to catch on and has sold a mere 2,912 copies, according to Nielsen BookScan, in its first week on store shelves.
Since her temporary absence, the health of both candidates has dominated the race.
Clinton’s campaign responded with a new letter from her doctor Wednesday declaring her “fit to serve” as president and saying she is recovering well from her recent illness. The letter — the first substantial update on her health in more than a year — details the medications she is taking, her cholesterol levels and other results from a physical exam.
Trump said he too plans to release details from a recent physical, and the Republican handed over a one-page summary of his recent exam to Dr. Mehmet Oz during a Wednesday taping of an episode of the celebrity physician’s television show. A release from the show said “Dr. Oz took Mr. Trump though a full review of his systems,” including his nervous system, cardiovascular health, prostate health and family medical history.
The full show is due to air Thursday. Trump’s campaign has not made a copy of the summary public ahead of the airing, nor is it certain he will do so after.
The tycoon has an event Thursday in New York City with The Economic Club of New York at the Waldorf Astoria and a rally in the evening in Laconia, New Hampshire.
