"We are canceling his events and appearances until further notice, and we will continue to provide appropriate updates," Weaver added in a written statement sent to reporters.
NEW: @BernieSanders is canceling all appearances until further notice — including at a presidential gun safety forum today — after he was found to have a blockage in one artery and had two stents inserted. Campaign says he is "conversing and in good spirits." pic.twitter.com/12n2Om6GQf

Sanders had a series of campaign events scheduled in Las Vegas on Wednesday, including a gun safety forum, and a town hall focusing on health care.
On Thursday and Friday, Sanders was scheduled to make a series of stops at colleges in California.
The news of Sanders being hospitalized came as the campaign delayed an expensive television ad campaign in Iowa, just a day after unveiling his first ad of the 2020 race.
The Sanders campaign announced yesterday that it had raised $25 million in the third quarter of this year.
