Doctor: Harris has "excellent health"

USA's Vice President Kamala Harris is in "excellent health" and "possesses the physical and mental resilience" required to function as president. This is stated by her doctor in a letter made public on Saturday.

Harris' doctor, Joshua Simmons, writes, among other things, that Harris has a "healthy and active lifestyle" and that her latest examination, which was conducted in April, was without remarks. The letter is two pages long and summarizes her health status with several details.

The fact that the Democratic presidential candidate's health report would be made public was previously announced by her campaign. The move is expected to put pressure on the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to do the same, and Harris' advisors hope to use the report to create a contrast with her opponent.

78-year-old Trump claims to be in good shape, but he has not released any detailed medical information ahead of the election. On the other hand, the former president's doctor stated in November last year that Trump's mental and physical health was "excellent", without providing details such as blood pressure and weight.

Trump's age has not been a disadvantage for him in opinion polls ahead of the election, where he is facing 59-year-old Harris.

The situation ahead of the election on November 5 is even.
