NEW YORK (AP) -- U.S. Representative Nita Lowey was recovering in a Manhattan hospital Monday after suffering a "minor coronary incident'' at a campaign rally for Hillary Clinton, a spokesman for the congresswoman said.
"She is feeling much better -- resting and recovering and in good spirits,'' said the spokesman, Matthew Dennis.
The 70-year-old congresswoman delivered a speech at a rally in White Plains on Saturday night when she nearly collapsed on stage.
She was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital after being referred from White Plains Hospital, which was not equipped to provide a test she needed, Dennis said.
The aide did not have more details of the diagnosis, but he said the congresswoman is expected to be released from the hospital within two days.
