Hillary Clinton cancels trip to Bay Area
HIllary Clinton has cancelled a trip to the Bay Area after her doctors said she came down with pneumonia.

NEW YORK (KGO) -- Hillary Clinton has been forced to cancel her visit through California, which included the Bay Area, because of her health.

Now her health is taking center stage in the race for president. Her Bay Area event was scheduled at the Masonic Auditorium tonight in San Francisco. She's expected to appear at the fundraiser by teleconference.

Yesterday Clinton was seen stumbling after a 9/11 event. Clinton's doctors say she has pneumonia. This comes days after having a coughing fit on stage during an event. She's been forced to cancel a heavy West Coast schedule. Clinton was also supposed to attend two fundraisers and tape a TV show in Los Angeles on Tuesday then go to Reno. Instead, she is recovering at home in New York.

Donald Trump has responded on Fox News:

"The coughing fit was a week ago. I hope she gets well and gets back on the trail," said Donald Trump.

"The issue at the 9/11 commemoration there that appeared to be a situation of dehydration, and when someone is sick, when they have pneumonia or other types of infection, they can be more prone to to getting dehydrated," said Dr. Richard Besser, ABC Health Correspondent.

It's unclear if Clinton will reschedule any of her West Coast events.
