Kamala Harris releases medical report saying she is in ‘excellent health’

Release of vice-president's medical history highlights questions around Trump's physical and mental fitness

Kamala Harris on Saturday released a report on her health and medical history, which found that she possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the presidency" if voters elect her in November.

A senior aide to Harris, 59, said the vice-president's advisers viewed the publication of the health report and medical history as an opportunity to call attention to questions about Donald Trump's physical fitness and mental acuity. The 78-year-old Republican White House nominee would be the oldest president elected if Americans gave him a second term in the Oval Office.
