'The man is old as dirt': Trump faces ridicule after Harris shares her health records
Vice President Kamala Harris Saturday released a new report that had political pundits scratching their heads and asking one question.
"A question that every reporter in America should be asking this morning," wrote Democratic strategist Matt McDermott. "Why is Donald Trump hiding his health records?"
This question arrived as Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee since August, revealed information Trump has not — despite mounting three presidential campaigns over the past eight years.
Harris' physician Dr. Joshua Simmons pronounced Harris in good health in a report detailing basic vitals such as her blood levels, blood pressure (128/74 mmHg), heart rate (78 beats per minute) and temperature (98.7 °F).
"I have been her primary care physician for the last three and a half years since the start of the current administration," Simmons wrote. "Vice President remains in excellent health."

This news spurred mixed emotions from political commentators who expressed sarcastic anticipation, direct outrage and deep frustration that Trump, 78, had yet to release health records less than a month before Election Day.
"Excited to see Trump’s health summary," wrote MSNBC commentator Molly Jong-Fast. "Oh, wait."
"Trump refuses to debate," political commentator Alex Cole. "Trump refuses to release his taxes. Trump refuses to release his health records.Trump refuses to do interviews that fact-check. The 78-year-old is definitely hiding something."
MSNBC Michael Steele lambasted the former president during an on-air segment for failing to provide relevant information the despite increased risks of age that include cognitive decline.
"The man is old as dirt," Steele said. "We have no idea what's going in that little brain of his. Maybe he had brain worms like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. We don't know."
