The New York Times questioned why 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was withholding key details about a recent health scare.
"During a campaign event yesterday evening, Sen. Sanders experienced some chest discomfort," his campaign said in a statement.
On Friday, he published an analysis piece titled, "Bernie Sanders Had a Common Heart Procedure. So Why the Mystery?" Altman wrote that the stent procedure Sanders went through is very common, making it "Puzzling why he has not released more details." Sanders also has not released the results of blood and electrocardiogram tests that would show whether or not he had a heart attack, nor has he allowed reporters to interview his doctors.
"Mr. Sanders remains in the hospital, and his campaign has closely guarded pertinent details about his heart condition and treatment, raising questions about the extent of his health issues."
"The health questions hang over Mr. Sanders in part because he would become the nation's oldest president by far if elected" Altman said.
"Mr. Sanders is a private person, no doubt, but most modern-day presidents and serious candidates for the presidency have put forward details to inform the electorate after emergency health issues."
Late Friday afternoon, hours after Altman's article, the Sanders campaign released additional details on the hospital stay.
