"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.
