Republican Carly Fiorina will remain overnight in the California hospital she entered this morning to treat an infection, her Senate campaign reported. The campaign did not offer a prediction of when (or if) Fiorina will rejoin the campaign trail in advance of Election Day, but it reported that her doctors are “taking every precaution to ensure she can return to her busy campaign schedule.”
The statement goes on to say that Fiorina could be back on the trail “later this week.”
Fiorina was admitted to an unnamed hospital this morning to treat an infection related to breast reconstruction surgery.
The latest on the nominee’s condition, from Fiorina’s campaign Chief of Staff Deborah Bowker:
Carly has received treatment for the infection related to the reconstructive surgery she underwent in July after her winning battle with breast cancer. The doctors tending to her care will observe her overnight and are taking every precaution to ensure that she can return to her busy campaign schedule. Carly is thankful for all of the prayers and encouragement she has received today from family, friends and supporters. She is anxious to get back on the campaign trail later this week and is very much looking forward to a victory on November 2.
The TPM Poll Average shows Boxer leading Fiorina 47.1-43.4.
