Vice President Kamala Harris released a detailed medical report on October 12, 2024, confirming her excellent health and fitness to serve as President. The report, prepared by her physician Dr. Joshua Simmons, a U.S. Army colonel, states that Harris, 59, maintains a healthy, active lifestyle, takes medication for seasonal allergies, wears contact lenses for mild nearsightedness, and is up to date on preventive care recommendations. The report concludes she possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to execute the duties of the Presidency. This move is seen as an effort to draw a contrast with her 78-year-old opponent, Donald Trump, who has released only limited information about his health. Harris's campaign aims to place Trump's health and advanced age under new scrutiny, highlighting the transparency of her own medical records.
