Vice President Kamala Harris, 59, released a summary of her medical records from her White House physician, who deemed her to be healthy with a history of seasonal allergies and hives. The physician noted that her allergies are managed with over-the-counter medications, and her hives are treated with allergen immunotherapy.
The report stated that Harris engages in regular exercise, follows a healthy diet, and drinks alcohol in moderation while not using tobacco products. Her last medical exam in April was unremarkable, with all routine exams and bloodwork coming back normal.
Presidential candidates typically release their medical records, with President Joe Biden facing concerns over his age during his re-election bid. Former President Donald Trump promised to release his medical records but has yet to do so. His most recent medical report from 2023 stated that he was in excellent health but lacked specific details.
Harris’ campaign is shifting focus to Trump’s age, with an ad questioning what would happen if he became incapacitated as president. This tactic is a reversal of Trump’s attacks on Biden’s age during the previous election. Harris has raised concerns about Trump’s ability to lead based on his age and recent verbal missteps.
