Bernie Sanders to take part in next debate and plans to leave hospital in coming days, campaign says

(CNN)Sen. Bernie Sanders plans to return home to Vermont in the coming days before taking part in the next Democratic primary debate, his campaign said on Thursday, as he recovers in a Las Vegas hospital following a heart procedure.

"We expect Bernie will be discharged and on a plane back to Burlington before the end of the weekend," she said. "He'll take a few days to rest, but he's ready to get back out there and is looking forward to the October debate."

There is no word yet on when Sanders will return to his busy 2020 stump schedule, but campaign surrogates will fan out across the country this coming weekend, headlining events in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Despite his age, Sanders has kept up one of the most active schedules of any 2020 Democratic primary candidate, often holding four or even five rallies and town halls in a single day.

discharged and on a plane back to Burlington before the end of the weekend

That could be Sunday. A solid six days.

Not exactly the "outpatient procedure" narrative that's been pushed previously. There's a REASON that these things are done IN HOSPITALS rather than in "doc-in-the-box" neighborhood corner walk-in clinics.
