Vice President Kamala Harris has released a detailed medical report affirming her fitness for the presidency. The report, prepared by her physician Dr. Joshua Simmons, states that Harris is in 'excellent health' and possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to execute the duties of the presidency. Harris, 59, maintains a healthy and active lifestyle, with her most recent physical examination in April being 'unremarkable.' She takes several medications to manage seasonal allergies. The release of her medical records is seen as an effort to draw a contrast with her opponent, former President Donald Trump, 78, who has not disclosed similar health information. Trump's health and advanced age have been subjects of scrutiny, with Harris's campaign aiming to pressure him to release his medical records and address questions about his mental acuity.
