Hillary Clinton will resume campaign travel Thursday following a bout of pneumonia.

The Democratic presidential candidate had called off plans to visit the West Coast on Monday and Tuesday following a health episode at the Sept.11 memorial.

Clinton abruptly left the anniversary ceremony on Sunday morning and needed to be held up by three people before she appeared to stumble off a curb and was helped into a van.

The former secretary of state later emerged from her daughter's nearby apartment, saying she was "feeling great," but several hours later, her campaign revealed she was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday and advised to rest.

She later called off plans to fly to California on Monday morning for two days of fundraising, campaign events and an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres's talk show.

The episode focused attention on Clinton's health with just weeks remaining in a contentious election in which Republican Donald Trump has tried to sow doubt about her health and fitness to serve.

Trump has repeatedly questioned Clinton's health, telling supporters last month she "lacks the mental and physical stamina" to serve as president and fight ISIS.
