More than 230 doctors, nurses and other health care professionals are calling on former President Trump to release his medical records after Vice President Kamala Harris did so.

In an open letter dated Oct. 13, first reported by CBS News, the health care providers raise concerns about Trump’s advanced age and argue that the 78-year-old Republican nominee should be transparent about his health and medical history. 

“On August 20, Donald Trump said he would ‘very gladly’ release his medical records. In the 55 days since, he has yet to do so,” the letter states. “With no recent disclosure of health information from Donald Trump, we are left to extrapolate from public appearances. And on that front, Trump is falling concerningly short of any standard of fitness for office and displaying alarming characteristics of declining acuity.” 

Most of the signatories support Harris for president. The letter asserts that Trump appears to “ramble, meander, and crudely lash out at his many perceived grievances” during his campaign events and questions whether this behavior is the result of cognitive changes associated with old age. 

HARRIS GOADS TRUMP TO RELEASE MEDICAL RECORDS AFTER SHE GETS CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH FROM PERSONAL PHYSICIAN

“The American people deserve to have confidence in their elected officials’ mental and physical capacity to do the jobs that they’ve elected them to do. Trump ought to be going above and beyond to provide transparency on his physical health and mental acuity, given his advancing age.” 

The letter comes while Harris is goading Trump into releasing his health information after the White House put out a “Healthcare Statement” on Saturday that declared her to be in “excellent health.”

The statement from Harris’ doctor also indicated she had her most recent annual physical exam in April of this year. Trump released his own health records while campaigning in 2016, and once he took over the White House he continued the trend. In August, with the 2024 election quickly approaching, Trump told CBS News that he would release updated medical records to the public. However, he has yet to do so, with roughly three weeks until Election Day.

“He won’t put out his medical records,” Harris said Monday morning during an interview with podcast host Roland Martin. She also slammed Trump for refusing to debate a second time and questioned why Trump’s “staff” would not allow him to do an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes,” particularly when it is tradition for both presidential candidates to do a sit down with the show.

“It may be because they think he’s just not ready and unfit and unstable and should not have that level of transparency for the American people,” Harris suggested.

The Trump campaign responded by pointing out several times the former president has voluntarily released updates about his health. They also noted that he shared records from a July screening conducted by Dr. Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician turned GOP congressman, following the second assassination attempt on his life. 

“All have concluded [Trump] is in perfect and excellent health to be Commander in Chief,” said Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung. “He has maintained an extremely busy and active campaign schedule unlike any other in political history.” Meanwhile, Cheung slammed Harris as being “unable to keep up with demands of campaigning,” arguing that compared to Trump her schedule “is much lighter because, it is said, she does not have the stamina of President Trump.”

Trump himself reacted to Harris’ medical statement on social media, calling it “really bad.” 

“With all of the problems that she has, there is a real question as to whether or not she should be running for President!” he wrote. “MY REPORT IS PERFECT – NO PROBLEMS!!!”

As Democrats work to shore up Vice President Kamala Harris’ standing among Black male voters who could be decisive in battleground states such as Pennsylvania and Michigan, the Democratic nominee was peppered by polite but pointed questions during a radio town hall hosted by Charlamagne Tha God on Tuesday.

After the comedian and author asked Harris, the former California attorney general and career prosecutor, about allegations that she purposefully imprisoned Black men over marijuana to boost her career, she called the claims misinformation and defended her work.

“I know exactly how those laws have been used to disproportionately impact certain populations, and specifically Black men,” Harris said, adding that she was “the most progressive prosecutor” in California and pointed to her proposal to decriminalize marijuana.

Harris also argued that such false claims were part of a systemic effort by the campaign of her GOP rival, former President Trump.

“They are trying to scare people away because they know that otherwise they have nothing to run on,” she said.

Harris’ hourlong appearance with Charlamagne Tha God is part of a concerted effort by her campaign to stop the erosion of support for the Democratic nominee among Black men. Even though she will overwhelmingly win their vote, polling shows that she has less support than President Biden did four years ago among this crucial Democratic constituency.

Former President Obama addressed the slippage as he campaigned for Harris last week in Pittsburgh, saying the lack of energy “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.”

On Monday, Harris unveiled an “Opportunity Agenda for Black Men” that includes providing fully forgivable loans to entrepreneurs; creating education, training and mentorship programs aimed at increasing job opportunities such as teaching for Black men; and creating a health equity initiative to focus on sickle cell disease, diabetes and other conditions that disproportionately affect Black men.

Her campaign also announced several new efforts to engage this voter bloc, including “Black Men Huddle Up” NFL and NCAA watch parties with celebrities and activists at Black-owned sports bars in cities such as Charlotte, N.C., and Atlanta.

Later Tuesday, Harris discussed the danger a second Trump presidency poses to the nation, as well as the importance of voting, during a taped conversation with rappers Fat Joe and Too Short that aired during the BET Hip-Hop Awards .

“There’s a lot of misinformation out there that would suggest to people that their vote doesn’t matter, and as far as I’m concerned, you should never let anybody silence you,” Harris said. “Because when you vote, you actually have the ability to determine the future of our country.”

In response to Fat Joe raising the impact of misinformation on the election, Harris responded that it’s a purposeful attempt to depress the vote.

“When you tell people that they can’t trust the system, then what are they likely to do? Not participate,” she said. “And that’s why I say don’t ever let anybody take you out of the game. That’s the first step toward never being able to make a difference.”

During Harris’ town hall with Charlamagne Tha God, Solomon Kinloch Jr., a pastor at Triumph Church in Detroit, asked about allegations from the Trump campaign that she was not involved with the Black church community. Harris responded that such claims are “disinformation.”

Citing the Oakland church she attended as a child and her current pastor from the Third Baptist Church in San Francisco, Harris said her Republican rival sought to “disconnect me from the people I have worked with and that I am from.”

And she turned to some of Trump’s recent merchandise.

“He’s selling $60 Bibles or tennis shoes and trying to play people as though that makes him more understanding of the Black community,” she said. “C’mon.”

Asked about the proposal of reparations to Black Americans because of slavery, the vice president repeated her previously stated position that “it has to be studied. There’s no question about that. And I’ve been very clear about that position.”

As a U.S. senator representing California, Harris supported the creation of a federal commission to study the issue.

The Trump campaign seized on the remark.

“Kamala Harris is a radical liberal,” the former president’s campaign said in a statement. “A 2020 report from NBC News noted that this “could cost the U.S. government between $10 trillion and $12 trillion.”

After Harris’ event with Charlamagne Tha God, she visited Cred Cafe, a Detroit small business owned by former NBA players Joe and Jamal Crawford. Actor Don Cheadle was among the attendees.

She noted that early voting begins in Michigan in four days after receiving a “Detroit VS Everybody” T-shirt from the brand’s founder. She said she felt a “kindred spirit” with Detroit.

Earlier in the day, she pointed to Trump’s slashing criticism of the city as what will happen to the United States if she is elected president, remarks he made there last week and reiterated Tuesday while participating in an interview with Bloomberg News in Chicago.

“Can you imagine you go to a city and say you want the votes of those people and disparage the city?” Harris said incredulously, adding that Trump tends to insult cities that have historically had majority-Black populations.
