Harris shares medical report in mental resilience bid; Trump health scrutinized: Live

Kamala Harris talks to reporters about releasing her medical report before taking off for North Carolina and adds to the pressure on Donald Trump to do the same and release his own health assessment: “It’s clear to me that he and his team do not want the American people to really see… if he is fit to be the president.”

Asked about Trump’s mental acuity, Harris said: “I invite the public to watch Trump’s rallies and be the decision-maker on his acuity. You will see in his rallies how he goes off on tangents, how he is not focused on the needs of the American people with solutions to the issues that concern them the most.”

Here is Trump speaking at a Hispanic roundtable in Clark County, Nevada, this afternoon claiming that Democrats want to get rid of cows.

Donald Trump confidently touted to attendees at the Detroit Economic Club luncheon on Thursday that he was named the “Man of the Year” by the county’s Republican Party in 2013. The only problem is that he was not, and the newspaper clipping he brought to prove it had to issue a correction over it.

Donald Trump wrapped up his remarks at a Hispanic roundtable in Clark County, Nevada, with a dark and forboding message.

The former president said: “We have a problem of survival of our country because we are run by very stupid and probably evil people, and we cannot have it.”

He then added: “I hope that is a positive message. Is that a positive message?”

Mark Milley, the US Army general who Donald Trump appointed as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, now says the current Republican presidential nominee is a “fascist to the core” and says no person has ever posed more of a danger to the United States than the man who served as the 45th President of the United States.

Milley, a decorated military officer who became a target for right-wing scorn after it became known that he expressed concerns over Trump’s mental stability in the wake of his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden, is described by journalist Bob Woodward in his new book, War, as incredibly alarmed at the prospect of a second Trump term in the White House. The Independent obtained a copy ahead of the book’s October 15 release date.

Andrew Feinberg reports from Washington, DC.

According to a letter from her doctor, Harris is in “excellent health” and “possesses the physical and mental resiliency” required to serve as president.

In contrast, the report increases scrutiny of Donald Trump’s fitness to serve.

The notorious self-styled GOP “dirty trickster” was secretly recorded responding to a question about how Democrats can be stopped from “stealing” the election while mingling with attendees at his Jacksonville, Florida, event: ‘A Night with Roger Stone.’

“We have to fight it out on a state-by-state basis, but you have to be ready,” Stone can be heard replying in the undercover recording first given to Rolling Stone by documentarian Lauren Windsor.
