I spoke with nine BBC outlets and Radio Free Europe on Monday about Hillary Clinton’s health and the US Presidential campaign, following the news that the Democratic nominee is suffering from pneumonia.

We discussed whether this will change the race for the White House (answer: it’s too soon to tell) and the political process if Clinton struggles to carry on (step up Vice Presidential nominee Tim Kaine). There is also conversation about why Americans are so concerned with health issues in the Presidency, including some background cases from Franklin Roosevelt to John F. Kennedy to Ronald Reagan.

A sample of the discussions:
