Kamala Harris has released a health summary from her White House physician, stating that she “possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.”
In the summary released on Saturday morning, the vice president’s physician Joshua Simmons writes that she is in “excellent health.”
Harris is releasing her medical information in a challenge to Donald Trump, whose health and age are coming under increased scrutiny.
Former Trump ally Chris Christie is the latest to sound the alarm over Trump’s competency to serve, saying that he has seen a “significant” mental decline in the former president.
On Friday, Trump espoused more anti-immigration rhetoric at his rallies in Reno, Nevada, and Aurora, Colorado, calling for the death penalty for migrants who kill American citizens and saying he would enact the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
Mike Coffman, Aurora’s Republican mayor, hit out at the comments and insisted neither the city nor state has “not been ‘taken over’ or ‘invaded’ or ‘occupied’ by migrant gangs.”
‘Is that a positive message?’ asks Trump
Donald Trump wrapped up his remarks at a Hispanic roundtable in Clark County, Nevada, with a dark and forboding message.
The former president said: “We have a problem of survival of our country because we are run by very stupid and probably evil people, and we cannot have it.”
He then added: “I hope that is a positive message. Is that a positive message?”

Trump is ‘fascist to the core’ and ‘most dangerous person to this country’ according to top general
Mark Milley, the US Army general who Donald Trump appointed as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, now says the current Republican presidential nominee is a “fascist to the core” and says no person has ever posed more of a danger to the United States than the man who served as the 45th President of the United States.
Milley, a decorated military officer who became a target for right-wing scorn after it became known that he expressed concerns over Trump’s mental stability in the wake of his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden, is described by journalist Bob Woodward in his new book, War, as incredibly alarmed at the prospect of a second Trump term in the White House. The Independent obtained a copy ahead of the book’s October 15 release date.
