"There are differences between Elizabeth and myself," Sanders said, referring to Warren. "Elizabeth, I think, as you know, has said that she is a capitalist through her bones. I’m not.”

"I am, I believe, the only candidate who's going to say to the ruling class of this country, 'Enough. Enough with your greed, and with your corruption. We need real change in this country,' " Sanders added.

Sanders stepped back from the campaign trail last week after he underwent surgery to insert two stents in his heart after he reported feeling chest pains. The Vermont senator is scheduled to return to the campaign trail within the next week, and plans to attend Tuesday's Democratic primary debate in Ohio.

Warren and Sanders have largely avoided attacking each other or their respective policies, with Warren frequently telling reporters that she is "with Bernie" on the issue of Medicare-for-all.
