Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled a new line of attack on the campaign trail Friday, criticizing Donald Trump for canceling planned media appearances and suggesting the 78-year-old former president was not up for the rigors of the job.

The volley from Harris returned the question of a candidate’s age to center stage, just months after persistent concerns over 81-year-old President Joe Biden’s health ultimately overwhelmed his reelection campaign. Harris in Michigan questioned whether Trump was “fit to do the job.”
