*Hillary Clinton’s bout with a stubborn coughing fit returned during a stop on her presidential campaign.
While speaking about helping black Americans overcome “seen and unseen” barriers to opportunity in Harlem, NY on Tuesday (Feb. 16), coughing fits took over the 68-year-old Democratic presidential frontrunner’s appearance as she struggled throughout between gulps of water.
Despite her ordeal, the crowd was clearly rooting for Clinton as they clapped and chanted “Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!”
The coughing fit in Harlem marks the latest incident involving Clinton and her challenge in overcoming a persistent cough. The former secretary of state, whose medical history includes blood clots in her legs and a brain aneurysm in 2013, endured coughing fits when she appeared at a campaign stop in West Des Moines, Iowa last month. Last year, the coughing fits emerged during Clinton’s time at the Benghazi hearings.
As Clinton spoke in Harlem, media sources note that some audience members wondered “What’s wrong with her?”
Nevertheless, Clinton ended up regaining her composure as she spoke with a raspy, trembling voice. After quickly finishing her speech, Clinton walked off the stage, still coughing.
