Bernie Sanders’s campaign says the Vermont senator and 2020 presidential hopeful suffered a heart attack last Tuesday after experiencing chest pains during a campaign event in Las Vegas. Sanders had two stents inserted to clear a blocked artery. He left an area hospital after a two-and-a-half-day stay before returning home to Burlington, Vermont, with his wife Jane.
Sen. Bernie Sanders: “Hello, everybody. We’re in Las Vegas. I just got out of the hospital a few hours ago, and I’m feeling so much better. I just want to thank all of you for the love and warm wishes that you sent to me. See you soon on the campaign trail.”
