NEW YORK: The Latest on the 2016 race for president (all times EDT):

5:20 p.m.

Hillary Clinton’s doctor says the Democratic presidential nominee was diagnosed on Friday with pneumonia, put on antibiotics and advised to rest and modify her campaign schedule.

Dr. Lisa Bardack says in a statement that Clinton is “recovering nicely” after attending a Sept. 11 anniversary event in lower Manhattan. Clinton was seen on video appearing to struggle to stay on her feet as she got into a vehicle to leave the event.

Bardack says Clinton has been experiencing a cough related to allergies, and in a follow-up examination Friday of her cough, Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia.

The statement says Clinton became overheated at the 9/11 event and dehydrated, but is now rehydrated.

Sen. Chuck Schumer says Hillary Clinton seemed “fine” just before she left the 9/11 memorial ceremony and was captured on video appearing to struggle to stay on her feet.

The New York senator said in a statement Sunday that he and the Democratic presidential nominee “chatted for quite a while” about their memories of the tragic attacks, when both were senators from New York.

He said, “It was pretty hot out there, but she seemed fine to me, and left on her own accord.”

Clinton later went to daughter Chelsea’s house nearby and emerged telling reporters that she felt much better.

Hillary Clinton is back at her suburban New York home, after having left the 9/11 memorial ceremony in lower Manhattan early because she was feeling “overheated.”

Clinton’s campaign says the former secretary of state arrived at her home in Chappaqua shortly before 2 p.m. The journalists who travel with her campaign were not there to witness her arrival.

Clinton left the annual remembrance event Sunday morning and headed to her daughter’s nearby apartment. She departed a short time later, saying she was “feeling great.” Wearing sunglasses, she paused to take a photo with a young girl before getting into her motorcade.

Videos of Clinton leaving the 9/11 event show her stumbling and needing help from staff to get to the van.
