What happened

Fifty-five days later, on October 14, 2024, more than 200 health care professionals signed an open letter noting he still had not released anything. Kamala Harris released a detailed physician's report and challenged him to match it; Trump refused, and his campaign pointed instead to two July 2024 memos from Rep. Ronny Jackson about the assassination attempt. At 78, the oldest major-party nominee in history went into Election Day without releasing records — as he had in 2016 and 2020.
