Sanders Backtracks on Promise to Release Medical Records

National Review: Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Tuesday backtracked on his previous pledge to release his medical records “before the first votes are cast,” a promise he made before suffering a heart attack in October.

“I don’t. I don’t think we will, no,” Sanders responded at a CNN town hall in Las Vegas Tuesday night when host Anderson Cooper asked whether he plans to release more medical records.

“I think we have released a detailed report and I’m comfortable with what we have done,” the Vermont senator said. “If you think I’m not in good health, come on out with me on the campaign trail and I’ll let you introduce me to the three or four rallies a day that we do, how’s that?”

Sanders, at 78 the oldest 2020 Democrat, suffered a heart attack in early October, with tests finding a “blockage in one artery,” and receded from the campaign trail for over a week as he recovered.

Following the incident, Sanders vowed to release his medical records.

“It’s the right thing to do,” Sanders said told NBC’s Chuck Todd in November when asked if he would release his medical records. “The American people have a right to know whether the person they’re going to be voting for for president is healthy.” read more
