Simmons also wrote that the vice president eats a healthy diet and engages in regular daily aerobics and core strength training. Harris' last medical exam in April was "unremarkable," Simmons said, adding that all of her routine exams and bloodwork were "normal." The report noted Harris' skin was "normal apart from mild sun damage in sun-exposed areas." Presidential candidates typically release their medical records, and presidents tend to have annual exams. This is the first time Harris' medical records have been made public.

☆ Harris’ doctor reports she’s in ‘excellent health,’ as her campaign looks to draw a contrast with Trump

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.

☆ Harris campaign to release report detailing vice president’s medical history, health information
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-12 | by ( Eric Bradner | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +1 min

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.

CNN —The San Francisco 49ers entered Thursday Night Football against division rivals the Seattle Seahawks needing a win after a stunning home loss to the Arizona Cardinals last time out. A nine-yard pass from Brock Purdy to George Kittle and a six-yard run from Kyle Juszczyk meant San Francisco remained in front of whatever comeback Seattle attempted to mount. However, San Francisco didn’t miss a beat on the ground as rookie Isaac Guerendo stepped in, carrying the ball 10 times for 99 yards. John Froschauer/APThe dual-threat offensive weapon, known for his receiving and rushing abilities, scored on a 76-yard touchdown catch midway through the second quarter. And afterwards, Samuel spoke about the importance of Thursday’s win as San Francisco improved to 3-3.

A credit score under these thresholds is also called a sub-prime credit score, which means that creditors might think twice when reviewing your application for a credit line. However, a combination of serious negative marks on your credit score may seriously hurt your credit score, putting you on the lower end of the score range. Minimal credit history: A minimal credit history means you haven't been using credit (like a credit card or loan) for much time. While one credit check on your credit report may dent your credit score by a few points, several of these in a short period of time will significantly hurt your credit score.

As the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, investors should review their bond portfolio, which could see a boost from dovish Fed policy. Typically, bond prices and market interest rates move in opposite directions. While it may be tempting to cling to cash, it will become “less attractive, less productive as interest rates fall,” Ward said. Many corporations leveraged rock-bottom interest rates during the pandemic to strengthen balance sheets and refinance debt, said Ward. As interest rates fall, those longer-maturity bonds should reward investors, experts say.

Speaking at the Cipher Brief security conference in Sea Island, Georgia, Burns said Iran has advanced its nuclear program by stockpiling uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels. CIA Director William Burns during a hearing of the House (Select) Intelligence Committee in Washington, D.C., on March 12, 2024. Iran has developed the “means of delivery” for a potential nuclear weapon by building up its missile arsenal, he said. The JCPOA imposed strict limits on Tehran’s nuclear program while easing economic sanctions on the country. Estimates vary as to how much time it would take Iran to build a viable nuclear weapon once it has acquired enough fissile material.
