The 3-page summary of the exam, signed by Trump’s long-time personal physician Dr. Bruce Aronwald and a team of specialists from Walter Reed, stated that Trump is in “excellent physical and cognitive health” and “fully fit to serve as President of the United States.” The report noted that his vital signs, including blood pressure, resting heart rate, and cholesterol levels, all fall within healthy ranges for his age group, and that he scored a perfect 30/30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a standard test used to detect early signs of dementia or cognitive decline. The exam also found no evidence of underlying cardiac issues, a point that his campaign emphasized amid growing voter concerns over the advanced age of both 2024 major party nominees. If elected to a second term, Trump would be 80 at the time of his inauguration, making him the oldest person ever sworn into the US presidency, surpassing current president Joe Biden, who was 78 when he took office in 2021. Biden, who turned 81 last November, is also running for re-election, and recent polling shows that 68% of likely voters believe both candidates are too old to serve a full four-year term effectively. The release of Trump’s medical report comes as his campaign looks to ease voter anxiety over his age, framing his good health as proof that he has the stamina and mental clarity to lead the country through ongoing economic, geopolitical, and domestic challenges. However, the summary has drawn criticism from Democratic officials and independent transparency advocates, who argue that the campaign has not released the full, unredacted medical records from the exam, only a curated summary that omits potentially relevant details. Some health policy experts have also noted that even for healthy adults in their 80s, the risk of sudden age-related health events, including strokes, heart attacks, and cognitive decline, rises significantly compared to younger adults, and have called on both Trump and Biden to commit to quarterly public health updates if elected. As the 2024 presidential race enters its final five months, health and age are expected to remain top issues for voters, particularly in key swing states where independent voters have listed candidate fitness as one of their top three voting priorities.
