Trump continues to withhold his current health records, prompting Harris to question his fitness.
- Trump rejected additional inquiries regarding the disclosure of his current health records.
- Kamala Harris is attempting to cast doubt on his suitability for the presidency in terms of both his physical and mental abilities.
- If Trump wins the Nov. 5 election, he will be the oldest person ever elected president in U.S. history.
On Friday, Donald Trump reiterated his refusal to release his current medical records, despite Kamala Harris' efforts to cast doubt on his fitness for the presidency.
The 78-year-old Republican candidate stated that he has already disclosed enough information about his health status and will not release his records.
Trump stated to a reporter on an airport tarmac in Detroit, Michigan, on Friday afternoon that he had completed five health exams in the past four years and that the reporter had all of his records.
Trump implied that he was occupied with campaigning against Vice President Harris, the Democratic candidate, rather than focusing on updating his records.
"Clearly, I'm in the midst of a highly divisive argument," he stated. "We're currently ahead. I've completed my medical evaluations."
Trump stated that he had taken cognitive tests twice and scored perfectly on both occasions.
He stated that he wanted to observe her take a cognitive test because she couldn't pass it despite not being born smart, before leaving the press.
CNBC did not receive a response from the Trump campaign regarding additional comment on Trump's remarks in Michigan.
Trump stated in August that he would willingly release his medical records to CBS News, but his campaign has not followed through with it.
On October 12th, Harris, who will turn 60 on Sunday, released a detailed health report from her White House doctor. Meanwhile, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung stated that the Republican nominee had voluntarily released multiple health reports.
Dr. Bruce Aronwald's three-paragraph letter, which was shared last November and pertained to an examination of Trump conducted over a year ago, was pointed out by Cheung.
Cheung mentioned two memos written by Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas in July, which detailed the injury Trump sustained during an assassination attempt at a July 13 campaign rally.
Trump, who would become the oldest president in U.S. history if he wins the Nov. 5 election, has been targeted by Harris with increased health-focused criticism.
At a rally in North Carolina on Sunday, she highlighted Trump's refusal to release a detailed health report and his unwillingness to participate in a second debate.
One must question, are they afraid that people will see that he is too weak and unstable to lead America?
On Friday, she took advantage of a Politico report that a Trump advisor had stated on a podcast that the former president had cancelled an interview on the show due to fatigue.
In the weeks leading up to Election Day, Trump canceled several interviews, including one with CNBC.
Is he capable of handling the demands of the campaign trail if he can't do so? That's a valid question, Harris stated at a Grand Rapids, Michigan event.
In a widely viewed Fox News interview on Wednesday evening, Harris stated that Trump is unfit to serve, unstable, and dangerous.
She has also ridiculed Trump regarding his unusual town hall meeting in Philadelphia on Monday evening.
During a planned question-and-answer session, two medical emergencies occurred, causing Trump to pause and listen to music while standing onstage for 39 minutes.
"I hope he's okay," Harris said dryly in his account on X.
