Kamala Harris releases medical report, drawing contrast with Donald Trump | 2024 US Election News

The democratic president is in ‘excellent health’ ahead of November’s US election, a doctor has said.

The Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, who was nominated for the presidency of the Democratic Alliance, released a letter from her doctor saying that she is in “excellent health” and deserves a high position, in an attempt to show the difference with her colleague, Donald Trump.

In a memo released Saturday, doctor Joshua Simmons said Harris’ April exam was “unremarkable,” noting her active lifestyle, “very healthy diet,” seasonal allergies, occasional constipation, and moderate alcohol consumption.

“In short, Vice President Harris is in very good health. “He has the physical and mental strength necessary to successfully perform the duties of the presidency, including those as chief executive, head of state and commander in chief,” Simmons wrote.

Harris, 59, is running against Republican Trump, 78, for the White House in November.

Locked in a tight race, Harris’ campaign is hoping that contrasting his youth and brains with Trump’s age and tendency to wander, as well as the obvious differences between the two, will help convince undecided voters that he is more suited to the position than the incumbent. He is.

Simmons said Harris’ allergies are well controlled with over-the-counter and prescription medications.

Her urticaria, or hives, “was intermittent and transient and did not appear to be caused by a particular exposure and was not associated with other symptoms” and responded well to antihistamine treatment.

Harris has been using allergen immunotherapy for the past three years, greatly improving her allergy symptoms and urticaria and reducing her need for medication except for the occasional nasal spray, she said.

Trump’s life

Former President Trump questioned the health of President Joe Biden when the 81-year-old president sought re-election. Since Biden was replaced on the ticket with Harris, Trump’s health has attracted more attention.

According to an aide to Harris, the vice president made his medical information public on Saturday in an effort to draw attention to Trump’s refusal to do so.

Trump has released few health details, including after his ear was grazed by a bullet during an assassination attempt in July.

In November last year, Trump marked Biden’s birthday by releasing a letter from his doctor reporting that the former president is in “excellent” physical and mental health.

The letter posted on Trump’s social media did not contain any information to support its claims – measures such as weight, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, or the results of any tests.
