Vice President Kamala Harris will release a report with details about her health and medical history on Saturday, which will conclude she has the mental sharpness to serve as president, a senior aide said, as they try to place former President Donald Trump's health and advanced age under new scrutiny.
The senior Harris aide said they see the release of the vice president's medical report as an opening to highlight how little is known about the 78-year-old former president's health.
Trump refused to release his medical records during his first campaign in 2016, and despite promising multiple times to release his medical records in this race, he's not done so yet. ABC News has made repeated requests concerning his medical records.
The most comprehensive details that are known of Trump's health care from a nearly 7-year-old report from his physician at the time following a physical exam. In that report, it was learned Trump had high cholesterol, was overweight and had rosacea, a benign skin disease.
However, not much is known about Harris' health either.
For example, in contrast to President Joe Biden, whose physician has issued memos following his routine physicals, no such reports have been made available for the vice president. Only her annual check-up in 2021 was announced by the White House, but results from that visit were not released.
