In a strategic move to highlight transparency, Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, plans to release her medical records on Saturday. This decision comes as part of her campaign's efforts to draw attention to Republican candidate Donald Trump's refusal to disclose similar information, according to an aide.

Harris, aged 59, is running against Trump, 78, who has become the race's oldest contender following President Joe Biden's decision to step aside. Biden's withdrawal came after a lackluster debate performance against Trump, making Harris the new Democratic standard bearer.

The campaign aims to underscore the contrast in age and mental acuity between Harris and Trump, using these aspects to appeal to undecided voters. Harris's team believes that showcasing her vitality and commitment to transparency might sway voters in her favor in this closely contested race.
