Sanders stepped back from the campaign trail last week after he underwent surgery to insert two stents in his heart after he reported feeling chest pains. The Vermont senator is scheduled to return to the campaign trail within the next week, and plans to attend Tuesday’s Democratic primary debate in Ohio.
