US Senator Bernie Sanders may be 78 and recovering from a heart attack, but he is determined to prove he has lost none of his appetite for political battle ahead of elections next year.

The pugnacious left-winger is seeking to put his campaign for the Democratic nomination back on track after earlier suggesting that he would have to slow down his schedule due to his health scare.“There’s nobody who has run a more vigorous campaign,” Sanders told ABC News in an interview broadcast on Sunday.

But he offered a rare insight into how he felt before and during the heart attack — which he brushed off as a minor issue. “I was more fatigued, despite a heavy schedule, than I should have been. I wasn’t sleeping as well as I should have been.‘Get back into the groove’“I misspoke the other day,” he told NBC on Wednesday. “The media drives me a little bit nuts to make a big deal about it.

“The first thing that we’re trying to do is understand what’s going on and not run to The New York Times and have to report every 15 minutes,” he said.He was released from the hospital after three days and is due to join rival candidates on Tuesday for a grueling TV debate before next weekend holding a “Bernie’s Back” rally in New York.
