Kamala Harris' Doctor Reveals Her Good Health

Flint, USASat Oct 12 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris is doing great health-wise, according to her doctor. Dr. Joshua Simmons, who has been Harris' primary care physician for over three years, says she's in excellent shape both physically and mentally. Harris, who is 59, lives an active lifestyle and her latest physical check-up in April showed no issues. Doctor Simmons also mentioned that Harris has been dealing with allergies and hives for some time but is doing well with treatment. Harris' campaign hopes to highlight her good health to contrast with Republican candidate Donald Trump. Trump, who is 78, has not shared much about his health. After a recent incident where a bullet grazed his ear, there was still little information about his condition. When Trump was campaigning against President Biden, he often brought up Biden's health, but now that Harris is the Democratic candidate, the focus has shifted to Trump's health. Last November, Trump celebrated Biden's birthday by releasing a letter from his doctor claiming Trump was in excellent health. However, the letter did not provide any specifics like weight, blood pressure, or test results.
