Kamala Harris in ‘Excellent Health’ for Presidential Run, Doctor Confirms
TL/DR –
Kamala Harris, the US Democratic presidential nominee, has been described as being in “excellent health” by her physician, Dr. Joshua Simmons. The health report, released as part of her campaign, outlined her active lifestyle, healthy diet, allergies, occasional hives, and moderate alcohol use. This move is seen as a contrast to her Republican counterpart Donald Trump, who has reportedly been reticent about releasing his health information.
US Vice President Kamala Harris Declared in ‘Excellent Health’ Ahead of Presidential Election
US Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, has been declared in “excellent health” by her physician, positioning her as a contrast to her opponent, Donald Trump. A letter released by Harris from her doctor further confirmed her suitability for high office.
Physician Joshua Simmons issued a memo after Harris’s April exam, labeling it as “unremarkable” and highlighting Harris’s active lifestyle, “very healthy diet”, seasonal allergies, sporadic hives, and moderate alcohol use.
Simmons wrote, “Vice President Harris remains in excellent health. She possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the presidency, including those as chief executive, head of state and commander in chief.”
Harris, 59, is running against Republican Trump, 78, for the White House in November. Her campaign is banking on her comparative youth, mental acuity, and transparency to convince undecided voters of her fitness for office over Trump.
Harris’s Health Management
Simmons further elaborated on Harris’s health, stating that her allergies had been well-managed with medications. Her urticaria, or hives, were sporadic and transient, responding well to antihistamines. Harris has also seen an improvement in her allergy and urticarial symptoms through allergen immunotherapy over the past three years.
Trump’s Health Questioned
In contrast to Harris’s transparency, former President Trump’s health has been under scrutiny. Despite questioning Joe Biden’s health during his re-election bid, Trump has been notably reticent about his own health issues, including a recent incident where his ear was grazed by a bullet during an attempted assassination.
Trump’s physician released a letter claiming the former president was in “excellent” physical and mental health, but provided no supporting details or test results. This lack of transparency has only served to highlight Harris’s candidness regarding her own health.
