The vice president of the United States and Democratic presidential candidate in November, Kamala Harris, 59, will publish a medical report on Saturday, October 12, in which she will conclude that she has “the physical and mental endurance necessary to fulfill the functions of the presidency” of the United States, said one of his campaign advisors. According to this source, who requested anonymity, Mme Harris hopes, with this assessment, which was not immediately published in full, to fuel a debate about the powers of her Republican rival Donald Trump, 78.
Questions about Joe Biden’s age, toughness and mental acuity dominated his campaign, until the 81-year-old president threw in the towel in July after a disastrous debate with the former Republican president. Since then, the issue has rarely been discussed in the media and has had no notable influence on the polls, which are still close, despite the strong age difference between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, and the increasing trend. increasingly pronounced tendency of the latter to make disjointed digressions.
Therefore, the Vice President would like to update the topic for your benefit. His campaign team carefully read recent articles from New York Times. It is noted that the billionaire, already widely criticized by his adversaries for not having been transparent about his health when he was president, has not published a recent medical report. The other article in the American newspaper analyzes his latest speeches, concluding that they are always more “long”, ” confused “, “vulgar” AND “obsessed with the past”.
The former president, with an undeniable physical presence, has a very sustained rhythm of trips and meetings. But he does not show a fatigue comparable to that which often characterized Joe Biden’s walk, features and speech. And according to polls, his age is not an important issue for voters.
A Gallup opinion poll released on October 10 shows that 41% of voters consider the Republican too old to be president. The percentage hasn’t changed much since Kamala Harris entered the race. According to Gallup, in June, 37% said the same, while two-thirds of Americans then believed that Joe Biden was too old to remain in the White House.
