Hillary Clinton had planned to spend the last two weeks of August in the Hamptons. But! Next week, she is going to have to take a quick jaunt across the Midwest. You know what they say about the campaign trail: it stretches all the way from Montauk to Des Moines.

On Wednesday, Clinton, who dropped $100,000 for two weeks with her husband at a beach house in Amagansett, will head to Cleveland and then Minneapolis, the New York Times reports. It’s just so hard to unplug these days!

The Times speculates that the break in vacation time comes as a response to Clinton’s dipping poll numbers and an increasing number of eyebrows being raised about her email habits. A campaign aide said the events had been scheduled for weeks.

In any case, according to the Times, Clinton’s Hamptons neighbors aren’t taking it personally:

Among the places where Mrs. Clinton enjoys stalwart support are the Hamptons, where she and Mr. Clinton have spent the past several summers, walking their dogs on the beach, attending clambakes and raising money for their family’s philanthropic foundation. This summer, the fashion designer Tory Burch is among those hosting fund-raisers for Mrs. Clinton.

Alan Patricof, a longtime donor and friend, said the pancake breakfast he and his wife, Susan, were hosting for Mrs. Clinton on Aug. 30, for up to $2,700 per person, had almost reached capacity at more than 300 people.

He said the criticism over Mrs. Clinton’s emails was just the latest attempt by Republicans to try to take down the Clintons. “Republicans have been on their case since 1991,” he said.

But, like many supporters of Mrs. Clinton, he said it was important for the campaign and its surrogates to explain that the subject was “somewhat of a tempest in a teapot.”

$2,700 per person for a pancake breakfast! Those are some fat cats.
