WASHINGTON: Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, released a letter from her doctor on Saturday (Oct 12) that pronounced her in good health and fit for high office, in an effort to draw a contrast with her counterpart, Donald Trump.
In a memo distributed by the White House, the vice president’s physician, Joshua Simmons, said Harris’s most recent physical exam in April was “unremarkable,” that she maintains an active lifestyle and “very healthy diet” despite a busy schedule, suffers from seasonal allergies and sporadic hives, does not use tobacco and drinks alcohol only in moderation.
“She possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief,” the doctor wrote.
