Bernie Sanders will be on stage at the Democratic debate in Ohio on Oct. 15 following a heart procedure that took him off the campaign trail, aides said on Thursday.

His wife, Jane, said in a statement issued by the campaign that Sanders, a Vermont senator, “is up and about” and spent the day talking with staffers about policy.
