Bill Clinton appears with bandage on face while supporting daughter Chelsea at New York City Marathon

New York City offered a surprising sight on Sunday as former President Bill Clinton appeared at the finish line of the marathon, cheering on his daughter Chelsea.

The 79-year-old was seen sporting a noticeable bandage on his face, prompting curiosity from onlookers and media alike.

Accompanied by former Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton, the couple celebrated Chelsea’s finish while drawing attention to Bill’s mysterious facial injury.

A History of Health Scares

This is far from the first health concern for Clinton.

Over the years, the former president has faced multiple serious medical episodes, including a quadruple bypass in 2004, treatment for a collapsed lung in 2005, and another open-heart surgery in 2010 where two stents were inserted.

He was also hospitalized briefly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earlier this year, he was seen on an airport tarmac with a defibrillator nearby, raising further concern among observers.

Despite these health pressures, Clinton has maintained an active public and political presence, continuing to attend events and support campaigns.

Clinton Fundraising Spotlight

The Clintons recently made headlines for their political fundraising efforts.

Earlier this month, they headlined a record-breaking fundraiser for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger.

Hosted at former Governor Terry McAuliffe’s McLean home, the event reportedly drew more than 350 donors and raised $2.2 million — setting a new record for Virginia gubernatorial fundraisers, according to Politico.

Legal Spotlight and Subpoenas

While attending political events, the Clintons are also navigating legal scrutiny.

Bill Clinton was subpoenaed in August by House Republicans to testify regarding his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Hillary Clinton was also called to appear. The subpoenas, issued by House Oversight Chairman James Comer, initially targeted both Clintons in October, highlighting the continuing legal pressures surrounding their past associations.

Chelsea Clinton’s Potential Political Path

Amidst the media attention on her parents, Chelsea Clinton has also been floated as a potential candidate for Congress following the retirement of long-serving Democrat Representative Jerrold Nadler.

She would be entering a field that includes high-profile contenders like Jack Schlossberg, grandson of President John F. Kennedy, underscoring the ongoing intersection of political legacy and family ambition in American politics.
