On Friday, US presidential candidate Kamala Harris once again questioned the fitness of her opponent Donald Trump for the White House. This occurred following a series of canceled campaign events, according to Axios.
The publication reports that the Vice President raised concerns about the Republican candidate’s fitness for the presidency during her campaign in Michigan on October 18.
“I've been hearing reports that his team, at least, is saying he's suffering from exhaustion. Being president of the United States is probably one of the hardest jobs in the world. And so we really do need to ask if he's exhausted being on the campaign trail. Is he fit to do the job?” Harris stated.
Axios noted that Trump has canceled several interviews and public appearances in recent weeks, including:
- His appearance at the National Rifle Association event next week;
- Trump recently refused two interviews with major media outlets;
- This week, he interrupted a speech at a Pennsylvania town hall, standing on stage for over half an hour while music played.
According to the publication, Trump's age and mental acuity have come under scrutiny, especially after 81-year-old President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race.
Harris, who will soon turn 60, recently released her medical records. She criticized Trump for not doing the same, a common practice among presidential candidates.
The publication clarified that if the 78-year-old Trump is elected President, he would surpass President Biden's record as the oldest person to assume the office.
As a reminder, it was reported yesterday that the Harris campaign team is changing its strategy to attract more men and Republicans. The changes come amid growing concern among Democrats over polls indicating that Trump is making significant gains.
Earlier, RBC-Ukraine reported that national polls show no clear leader in the presidential race.
