WASHINGTON (AP) โ€” Vice President Kamala Harris plans to release a report Saturday on her medical history and health that a senior campaign aide said would show โ€œshe possesses the physical and mental resiliencyโ€ needed to serve as president.

Harrisโ€™ advisers hope to use the moment to draw a contrast with Republican Donald Trump, who has released only limited information about his health over the years, and raise questions about his fitness to serve, the aide said.

Harrisโ€™ office did not go into detail about how thorough the report on her medical history would be. The aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter, said the report concludes Harris โ€œpossesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief.โ€

Trump, for his part, has released very little information, including after his ear was grazed by a bullet during an assassination attempt in July.

Trump, 78, eagerly questioned President Joe Bidenโ€™s health when the 81-year-old president was seeking reelection. Since Biden was replaced on the ticket with Harris, who is 59, Trumpโ€™s own health has drawn more attention.

Last November, Trump marked Bidenโ€™s birthday by releasing a letter from his physician that reported the former president was in โ€œexcellentโ€ physical and mental health.

The letter posted on Trumpโ€™s social media platform contained no details to support its claims โ€” measures like weight, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, or the results of any test.
