Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris arrives for a campaign event at the Dort Financial Center in Flint, Michigan, October 4, 2024. Vice President Kamala Harris is in "excellent health" and "possesses the physical and mental resiliency" required to serve as president, her doctor said in a letter released Saturday that summarizes her medical history and status. As Harris' office released the medical report, her campaign highlighted recent media reports raising questions about Trump's health and mental acuity and his failure to provide information about health status and medical history. Since Biden was replaced on the ticket with Harris, Trump's own health has drawn more attention. Last November, Trump marked Biden's birthday by releasing a letter from his physician that reported the former president was in "excellent" physical and mental health.

CNN —Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is expected to release a report Saturday detailing her medical history and health information, a senior aide said. His July exit from the race opened the door for Democrats to go on offense on a biographical contrast that they’d previously sought to downplay. Trump has not released his actual medical records, and memos about his health in the past have often used hyperbolic language. Harris has never before released her medical records. She has said on social media that her late mother Shyamala Gopalan Harris – who died of colon cancer in 2009 – worked as a breast cancer researcher, and has advocated for breast cancer screening.
