Kamala Harris is enjoying excellent health, a medical report confirmed. Trump is silent

Harris maintains a healthy and active lifestyle, her last medical check-up in April this year was nothing out of the ordinary, Dr. Joshua Simmons wrote in a two-page document summarizing her health status. It is the first time that the American vice president has published a medical report.

“She has the physical and mental endurance needed to successfully perform the duties of a president, including those associated with the role of chief executive, head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces,” said Simmons.

Harris replaced the current 81-year-old President Joe Biden in the candidacy, who withdrew from the candidacy precisely because of a health condition related to his old age, which has recently been accompanied by chaotic behavior and expression.

Harris is trying to get the upper hand over her rival Donald Trump by publishing her medical report, the American media write. “It is clear to me that he (Trump) and his team do not want the people of America to really see how he is and if he is fit to be president,” Harris told reporters.

Trump is referring to older news

The 78-year-old Republican nominee has not published any medical reports about his health for a long time. Already during his first presidential mandate, Trump faced criticism that he was not transparent enough about his health.

In response to the news of Harris’ health, Trump’s campaign said doctors said Trump was fit to serve in office. In doing so, she referred the journalists to a document by the former president’s doctor, Bruce Aronwald, who stated in November of last year that “Trump’s overall health is excellent.”

However, the report did not include any details to support the claim, nor the results of any medical tests.

Trump’s campaign also pointed to a document released after the assassination of the Republican candidate in July, in which doctor Ronny Jackson describes the injury to Trump’s ear caused by the assailant and his quick recovery from the attack. If Trump were elected, he would become the oldest president ever to sit in the Oval Office.
