Monahan, whose office has served as Sanders’ physician for the past 28 years, said that Sanders’ general physical examination produced “normal” results, including blood pressure and cholesterol levels. But it comes amid a push by Sanders to make policing the financial sector a key distinction in their presidential campaign.
Bernie Sanders, if elected, will become the oldest president the United States has ever chosen. Ronald Reagan, the current titleholder, was just a couple days shy of his 70th birthday when he first took office.
The doctor notes the various ailments he has treated Sanders for in the 26 years of their relationship including hernias, superficial skin tumors, and gout.
Sanders has maintained on the campaign trail that he is in excellent health and promised to release information about his health prior to the February 1, Iowa caucus.
Sanders’ campaign said it always planned to release his health status prior to Monday’s Iowa caucuses, but Thursday’s showing followed a planned attack by a Clinton surrogate calling on Sanders to divulge his medical history.
