As part of its three 2016 campaign segments on Monday, ABC’s World News Tonight featured Clinton campaign correspondent Cecilia Vega fretting that the campaign’s “grueling pace” may have “seem[ed] to catch up” with Hillary Clinton as she coughed multiple times during an appearance and had to take a drink of water. 

About halfway through her report, Vega explained that along Bernie Sanders consistently drawing bigger crowds than Clinton, “[t]he grueling pace” was “seeming to catch up with her today” as Clinton paused and coughed during a speech in Des Moines to take a drink of water and tell the audience that “[y]ou do talk a lot in this campaign.”
