Jill Stein says she has the lowest blood pressure of any candidate

Green Party nominee Jill Stein, MD, jumped into the ring on personal health Monday in an interview with Politico's Glenn Thrush, when she said she assumed she has the lowest blood pressure of any candidate at 110/70.

Because of the recent hoopla around candidates' personal health, Mr. Thrush asked to compare the numbers. He revealed that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton actually has the lowest blood pressure of 100/70.

"Are you serious?" Dr. Stein replied to Ms. Clinton's blood pressure. "Well, I would be happy to run a race with her any time," she said. Dr. Stein added that she usually walks six miles a day and used to run marathons.

In the remainder of the interview, Dr. Stein and Mr. Thrush discuss her medical career and how it laid the groundwork for her views on community-based healthcare and vaccines. Read the full interview here.
