JUST IN: A waving Bernie Sanders leaves a Las Vegas hospital after a heart procedure earlier in the week. The Sanders campaign says the Vermont senator is expected to appear at the upcoming Democratic debate.
"Bernie is up and about. Yesterday, he spent much of the day talking with staff about policies, cracking jokes with the nurses and doctors, and speaking with his family on the phone. His doctors are pleased with his progress, and there has been no need for any additional procedures," Jane Sanders said in a statement Thursday afternoon."We expect Bernie will be discharged and on a plane back to Burlington before the end of the weekend.
Sanders had chest pains before being taken to the hospital, according to a statement from Sanders' campaign senior adviser Jeff Weaver. The campaign would not say if the senator suffered a heart attack.Jane Sanders spoke outside of Desert Springs Hospital on Thursday, saying her husband was"doing great."
Sanders’ surrogates will be on the campaign trail in his absence. San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, a campaign co-chairwoman, was headed to New Hampshire for three campaign events and Rep. Ro Khanna, a fellow campaign co-chairman, will make stops in Iowa over the weekend.
