Bernie Sanders, 78, is hospitalized for 'chest discomfort'


Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders canceled a string of presidential campaign events on Wednesday after suffering what a spokesman said was 'chest discomfort' that required two stents to open up a blocked artery.

The 78-year-old socialist firebrand is the oldest person in the 2020 field.

'During a campaign event yesterday evening, Sen. Sanders experienced some chest discomfort,' senior adviser Jeff Weaver said in a statement. 'Following medical evaluation and testing he was found to have blockage in one artery and two stents were inserted.'
