On Sunday, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was captured on video, faltering after according to her campaign, she became overheated. Later they revealed the 68-year-old had been diagnosed with pneumonia recently, which is a serious condition, but something she should soon recover from. The Clinton campaign says she was put on antibiotics and advised to rest and modify her schedule.
