According to a senior campaign aide, the detailed report shows that she has “the physical and mental resilience necessary to successfully carry out the duties of the President, including Chief Executive, Head of State, and Commander-in-Chief.” “It is equipped with the following.”
Harris' advisers say the report will focus on Trump's health and mental acuity, as the 78-year-old Republican nominee will be the oldest president at the end of a potential second term. The aide said he was calling it an opportunity.

“He was grazed by a would-be assassin's bullet just days before becoming the official Republican presidential candidate for the third time in 2024, but his campaign held no briefing on his condition and did not release hospital records. “He was not available for an interview,” the report said.
