After suffering a heart attack two weeks ago, the Vermont senator made his formal return to the race during Tuesday’s 2020 Democratic presidential primary debate. And he thanked his rivals for the outpouring of "love" and "prayers."
Two weeks after suffering a heart attack, Sen. Bernie Sanders made his formal return to the race during Tuesday’s 2020 Democratic presidential primary debate at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio.
At 78, Sanders is the oldest candidate running for the Democratic nomination. Former Vice President Joe Biden is 76 and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the third oldest candidate, is 70. If any of them win the White House, they would be the oldest president ever inaugurated. Sen. Bernie Sanders thanks those who wished him well, including his rivals,"for their love, for their prayers" during his recovery from a heart attack, and says he's"healthy" and"feeling great." #DemDebate https://t.co/r4XqxLbfaP pic.twitter.com/6cf3unOFDYThe Vermont senator, who has been reluctant to put a spotlight on his personal life, then took the opportunity to give thanks for the outpouring of support he’s received.

Bernie Sanders Renounces Call For Economic Equality After Brush With Death Teaches Him Money Isn’t EverythingWESTERVILLE, OH—Revealing that his heart attack left him worried that he’s spent too much time obsessed with things that do not matter, Bernie Sanders renounced his past call for economic equality during Tuesday night’s debate after his brush with death taught him that money is not everything. “I’ve spent 50 years worrying about money, but now I realize that fair wages and housing are not really important—it’s people and relationships, it’s living in this moment right now,” said Sanders, who admitted that recovering from his surgery provided an opportunity to think about how true wealth and power does not come from money; it comes from having a devoted family. “I encourage my supporters to forget about all that nonsense about income inequality.
