Harris' line of attack on Sunday followed the release of a detailed report from her doctor that said the 59-year-old Democratic nominee was in “excellent health.” He portrayed Trump in an interview with CBS's 60 Minutes and in a second presidential debate with him, then tried to suggest that his campaign was hiding something.
“You have to ask: Are they afraid that people will see that he is too weak and unstable to lead America?” Harris told a crowd of about 7,000 people in a university auditorium in Greenville, North Carolina, to applause.
Although Trump, 78, told CBS News in August that he would be “very happy” to release his medical records, he has refused media requests to do so.
Following Harris' doctor's statement on Saturday, the Trump campaign said the former president released a health update from his personal physician and former White House doctor Ronny Jackson, now a Republican congressman from Texas, following the attempted Trump's assassination in July.
“Everyone concluded that he is perfect and in excellent health to be commander in chief,” said campaign spokesman Steven Cheung.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, told NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday that Trump's medical records are “irrelevant,” claiming that Americans care about the cost of living rather than the “level of Donald Trump’s cholesterol.”
At a black church in Greenville early Sunday, Harris also criticized Trump for spreading false claims about the response to the Hurricane Helen disaster for political gain ahead of the Nov. 5 Election Day.
“I’m talking about people who are literally not telling the truth, lying about people who are working hard to help people in need,” Harris said, without mentioning Trump by name. “To be honest, the reasons are quite clear: to gain some advantage for oneself, to play politics and to break other people’s hearts.”
As the storm hit parts of North Carolina and equally heavily Republican parts of Georgia, Trump continued a steady stream of criticism and false claims about the federal response to the disaster, including that storm victims could receive $750 in federal aid from emergency. Management Company.
President Joe Biden and Harris denied his statements and rebuked him for trying to turn the disaster response into a campaign.
Although no Democratic presidential candidate has won North Carolina since 2008, Harris' campaign saw the state's 16 electoral votes within its grasp after Biden dropped out of the race.
Greenville, in Pitt County, hundreds of miles east of the state's storm-ravaged West, a fact Harris acknowledged Sunday. This is an area where the Harris campaign hopes to extend its lead over Trump. According to the 2020 census, just over a third of the county's population was black.
Trump won North Carolina by 1.3 percentage points in 2020, the narrowest victory by any presidential candidate in the state's history. Exit polls showed that nearly a quarter of voters were black and 92% of them reported voting the Democratic ticket.
Trump won nearly every western North Carolina county in 2016 and 2020, and state Republicans, who are generally uninterested in making voting easier, worry that Helen's outcome could make it harder for voters to cast their ballots.
Last week, Harris visited Charlotte for a disaster response briefing and to distribute supplies to a volunteer center.
His campaign and the coordinated state Democratic Party have paused regular events in western North Carolina and are instead helping with relief efforts, including transporting water and other essential items from neighboring states, a campaign official said, adding that your voter protection team is working to ensure.
