BIDEN TO RELEASE MEDICAL RECORDS BEFORE PRIMARIES

Joe Biden on Thursday committed to releasing his medical records before the first votes are cast in the battle for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Biden said he would release the records “when I get the next physical ... before there’s a first vote.” The Iowa caucuses kick off the balloting in the Democratic race on Feb. 3. Biden’s promise Friday was new. Previously he had said only that he would release his records before the general election.

The 76-year-old former vice president pledged to do so when asked by HuffPost about concerns ― raised by some of his challengers in the Democratic race ― about his fitness for office. “What the hell concerns?” Biden said in a brief comments following a meet-and-greet with students at Texas Southern University in Houston, site of last night’s debate among 10 Democratic White House contenders.

At one point in Thursday’s debate, former Housing Secretary Julián Castro targeted the former vice president with a sharp attack, suggesting that Biden’s memory was failing him. Biden’s campaign called the barb a “cheap shot,” and that characterization has been echoed by others in the media.
