    I dont really get the effort to pursue this. Won’t he just pay off doctors, or make up fake reports? Hasnt he already done that in the past?

      Politically it’s a no lose situation for Harris.

      If he refuses, she gets to talk about that.

      If he releases them, they become a news story about his health.

      If they’re true she gets to focus on the stuff that makes him look bad.

      If they’re lies we get to talk about that.

      Literally no scenario where this guy gets to release his records and they’re helpful for him

        Yeah. It’s a pretty smart move. I’ll say this about Harris, she is trying to win in ways Hilary and Biden never were.
