Clinton to call into California fundraiser
By Rebecca Savransky
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is going to teleconference into her San Francisco fundraiser Monday after canceling her trip to California due to pneumonia.
"As you may have heard today, Secretary Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia and her doctor has advised her to rest," donors were told via email on Sunday night, according to CNN.
"As a result, she won't be able to join us in person, but she will be participating via teleconference."
Clinton left the 9/11 memorial early on Sunday because she felt "overheated." A video later showed the Democratic nominee's legs appear to buckle as she was helped into a van to depart the event. She later went back to her home in Chappaqua, N.Y., and her doctor released a statement saying the Democratic nominee had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday.
The Democratic nominee subsequently canceled her trip to California, where she had a large fundraiser planned.
The email sent to donors urged attendees to still go to the fundraiser.
"We strongly encourage you to join us at The Masonic as planned for a very memorable evening," the email said, according to CNN.
"With just 58 days until Election Day, it is important now more than ever that we have Hillary's back and continue to do all we can to elect her our next President."
