Transparency of Presidential Candidates' Health
In 2008, Senator John McCain released detailed medical records to reassure the public about his health when running for president. Today, both President Biden and Donald Trump, who are in their 70s, have not been as transparent about their health. Experts are calling for neuropsychological exams for older candidates to assess cognitive health.
