Vice President Kamala Harris’s doctor recently released a letter stating that she is in excellent health and fit to be President. The letter emphasized her active lifestyle and unremarkable physical examination.
Harris’s campaign sees this release as an opportunity to highlight the contrast between her health and that of former President Trump. Harris’s advisers are urging Trump to disclose more recent health information, given his age of 78.
In response, the Trump campaign released a statement claiming his perfect health but without providing specifics. The latest health files released on Trump were from 2023 and did not include any details on his vitals or medications.
Harris, who has a history of allergies and urticaria, has been undergoing allergen immunotherapy for the past three years. Her recent blood work and other test results were unremarkable.
Harris’s campaign is using her health as a way to target Trump’s age, similar to the Republican strategy against Biden during his candidacy. Harris’s social media campaign highlights instances where Trump has shown signs of his age, such as slurring words or meandering.
