Harris' advisers hope to use the moment to draw a contrast with
Republican Donald Trump, who has released only limited
information about his health over the years, and raise questions
about his fitness to serve, the aide said.
Harris' office did not go into detail about how thorough the
report on her medical history would be. The aide, who spoke on
condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter, said the
report concludes Harris “possesses the physical and mental
resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the
Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State
and Commander in Chief.”
Trump, for his part, has released very little information,
including after his ear was grazed by a bullet during an
assassination attempt in July.
Trump, 78, eagerly questioned President Joe Biden's health when
the 81-year-old president was seeking reelection. Since Biden
was replaced on the ticket with Harris, who is 59, Trump's own
health has drawn more attention.
Last November, Trump marked Biden's birthday by releasing a
letter from his physician that reported the former president was
in “excellent” physical and mental health.
The letter posted on Trump’s social media platform contained no
details to support its claims — measures like weight, blood
pressure and cholesterol levels, or the results of any test.
