Sen. Bernie Sanders On the Mend After Suffering Heart Attack
------------------------------------------------------------

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."
