Overview

  • Kamala Harris, 59, has released a letter from her doctor stating she is in excellent health, with minor issues like seasonal allergies and mild near-sightedness.
  • The disclosure aims to highlight former President Donald Trump's lack of transparency regarding his own health, as he has not released new medical information despite being 78 years old.
  • Both candidates face scrutiny over their age and health, with Harris using her medical release to question Trump's fitness for office.
  • Harris currently holds a slight lead in national polls, with some surveys indicating she may gain support from suburban voters, a key demographic for Trump.
  • The focus on health and transparency comes amid a heated campaign period, with both candidates ramping up their media engagements and public appearances.
