Kamala Harris Sets Medical Records Release, Puts Spotlight on Trump's Health

Vice President Kamala Harris is about to share her medical records, hoping to draw attention to her opponent's health. Her campaign wants former President Donald Trump to do the same. A high-ranking Harris staffer says the records will show she's fit for the presidency. We don't know yet how much detail will be in Harris' records, but her team sees it as a chance to talk about Trump's physical and mental health. They think his age, 78, could work in their favor. Harris didn't release her medical records during the 2020 campaign. Trump, who would be the oldest U. S. president if elected, shared a doctor's note in November 2023 saying he's in great health. But the note didn't give specifics. Trump said in August he'd "gladly" share his medical records and that he's in perfect health. The Harris campaign is using Trump's age as a strategy, similar to how Trump's campaign used President Biden's age. Biden left the 2024 race in July after concerns about his ability to serve a full term. On social media, Harris' campaign has been highlighting moments where Trump slurs his words or seems confused. They want voters to know they're tired of his "lies and slur-filled delusions. "
