Sanders’s Heart Attack Brings Age to 2020 Forefront - WSJ

Sanders’s Heart Attack Brings Age to 2020 Forefront - WSJ: Bernie Sanders’s recent heart attack and hospitalization are bringing to the forefront an issue the Democratic party’s three leading presidential candidates have actively tried to minimize: their age.

At 78, the Vermont senator is the oldest in the party’s field. Former Vice President Joe Biden is 76, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is 70.

They are competing to face President Trump, who is 73.
