Republicans have been questioning the Democratic presidential nominee's health and stamina in recent weeks, implying that Clinton might not be fit for the White House.

"As the world knows, I was a little under the weather recently," Clinton said in a speech to the Black Women's Agenda Symposium. "The good news is, my pneumonia finally got some Republicans interested in women's health."

Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia last Friday, but her campaign didn't disclose her illness until Sunday, when she had to leave a 9/11 memorial event early because she wasn't feeling well.
