Returning to the trail in North Carolina after a bout with pneumonia, the Democrat sought to calm worries about not just her health but her campaign.
GREENSBORO, N.C.—Hillary Clinton is back on her feet. Now, what does she stand for?
After a few days recuperating from what her doctor characterized as a mild bout of pneumonia, the Democratic presidential nominee was at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro on Thursday afternoon, returning to the campaign trail and seeking to rebuild her dwindling lead over Republican Donald Trump. Against that backdrop, Clinton seemed to be looking to reset not just her health, but her the whole campaign.
For her first rally back, Clinton took the stage not to the familiar strains of “Fight Song” but instead with James Brown’s “I Feel Good” blaring. She addressed her illness at the outset of her 25-minute speech, saying she had wanted to power through but eventually recognized the need to take a break—and found it refreshing.
