Bernie Sanders to Scale Back Campaign Events After Heart Attack
---------------------------------------------------------------

Vermont senator and 2020 presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said
Tuesday he will scale back the number of campaign events he participates
in as he recovers from a heart attack he suffered last week at a rally
in Las Vegas. Sanders says he still plans to join an October 15
televised debate of the top 12 Democratic candidates. Over the weekend,
Sanders's daughter-in-law, Rainč Riggs, died of neuroendocrine cancer -
just two days after her diagnosis. Riggs, who was married to Senator
Sanders' son Levi, was just 46 years old.
