Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is leaving Las Vegas and returning home to Vermont after being treated for a heart attack.
The 78-year-old boarded a plane Saturday, just one day after he was released from a hospital.
Sanders was at a campaign event Tuesday when he experienced chest discomfort and was taken to a hospital.
Sanders’ campaign released a statement from his doctors that said two stents were inserted to open up a blocked artery in his heart. They say the rest of his arteries were normal.
The doctors said the rest of his stay was “uneventful with good expected progress.”
This marks the second time in two months that health problems forced Sanders to cancel campaign events. In September, he backed out of some appearances in South Carolina because he lost his voice.

I think it’s time for him to enter an old age home. Take it easy, Bernie! Let Warren try to ruin the country.
Is that a private plane I’m seeing that he’s getting on? Must be running on corn sirup.
Let It Go
at least give him credit for being consistent throughout the decades
more than can be said about most
he’s all but done
