Questioning the health of both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is "legitimate," Trump campaign co-chairman Sam Clovis said Friday, while remarking that in the case of the Democratic nominee, there are "things that raise the eyebrows" with respect to her physical health.

"And as a person who’s going to be president of the United States, are they going to be able to complete the term? I mean, there’s no way of knowing for sure. I mean, all of these other factors," Clovis said in an interview with Boston Herald Radio. "But I do think it’s something that people look at, and I know in my own case, a lot of times if you run for office people have great concerns about your health and well-being and you know, I’ve heard it myself on a lot of issues." (Clovis ran for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in 2014 before losing to Joni Ernst and subsequently coming up short in the general election for Iowa state treasurer.)


Pressed to name some of the concerning signs about Clinton's health, Clovis responded that he could only comment on "what I’ve been able to observe—God knows we have hardly any insight into watching her either get in or out of vehicles or board planes."

"She just seems a little wobbly and a little frail," Clovis said. "And I think that that’s something, and anybody that’s ever been on the campaign trail, it doesn’t matter whether you’re running for county supervisor or you’re running for president of the United States, it takes a toll, physically and mentally on the individual. And I think that she really probably needs longer rest periods. Of course I do too, but I mean this is the whole issue of really taking a look at this. And I think she’s just seemed wobbly and a little frail at times."

As far as whether Trump should release more detailed medical records, Clovis said that he would likely do so if Clinton does the same. The former secretary of state's campaign released a report from her internist in July 2015, while the Trump campaign came out with a letter from his doctor last December, a note that the physician said last week took him only five minutes to write.

Clovis later raised the issue of the candidates' health in the context of the debate stage, where Clinton and Trump will square off in the first contest in 24 days.

"I think the interesting aspect of this will be, I think, the contrast because you know Mr. Trump is a very, he’s a big guy. You know, he’s big enough to play tight end for the Jets, you know, for the Patriots, and so, he’s a big, robust fellow and again Mrs. Clinton will be up on the stage as well," he said. "I think it’ll be a great contrast physically, but I also think it’ll be a great contrast in style."
