Hillary Clinton Cancels Trip To Bay Area; To Phone In For Today's Campaign Stop

BAY AREA, CA – Because of illness, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will not attend a campaign event she was scheduled to appear at this evening in San Francisco, a volunteer with her campaign said.

However, Clinton will participate in the event via teleconference, according to Kath Delaney, a member of tonight's event's host committee.

The event, which starts at 4:30 p.m. at The Masonic at 1111 California St., is set to feature guest performers k.d. lang and Liz Wright.

Tickets for the event range between $250 and $50,000, according to an invitation on Clinton's campaign website.

Clinton was recently diagnosed with pneumonia, her doctor Lisa Bardack confirmed in a statement.

Clinton reportedly is recovering from pneumonia and appeared ill at a 9/11 ceremony in New York. She has also canceled a trip to Southern California.

A video circulated Sunday in which Clinton was seen staggering and being helped into a vehicle after reportedly leaving a Sept. 11 memorial ceremony in New York City.

Clinton last visited San Francisco back in June, when she held a luncheon with special guests Jamie Lee Curtis and Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards.
