Many of his events were cancelled after the attack, which was followed by heart surgery. The latest campaign gave a befitting answer to the press with many policy announcements and endeavoured to turn the health alarm to a message about his signature Medicare for All policy. His campaign is going ahead with a $1.3 million Television ad purchase in Iowa, the urgent early casting a ballot express that will commence the Democratic essential challenge in the month of February next year.

Oldest candidate to contest

Sanders, who is 78 years old, is the oldest candidate to contest against the current Republican President of the United States, Donald Trump, who is 73-year-old, in the elections scheduled in November next year. Bret Nilles, Democratic chair of Iowa’s Linn County in a statement to the news agency said that the question that comes in the mind of people is whether Sanders is going to be around for eight years after the election.
