Following what appears to be a disappointing finish in Iowa, former Vice President Joe Biden took direct aim at two of his main rivals for the Democratic nomination during a speech in Somersworth, New Hampshire on Wednesday afternoon, arguing that one's embrace of a 'socialist' label and
the other's lack of experience are too great a risk to take in the fight to unseat President Donald Trump.
“So when Sanders attacks me for having baggage, I have to tell you, the 60 plus candidates that I campaigned for in the toughest districts in the country just two years ago, don't see me as baggage. They wanted me in their districts,” Biden said. “I doubt whether many people asked Bernie Sanders to come in and campaign.”
The move is significant for Biden, who has largely tried to stay away from criticism of his Democratic opponents, warning against the formation of what former President Obama called “a circular firing squad” during an Obama Foundation event in Berlin, Germany last year. “I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. We took a gut punch in Iowa. The whole process took a gut punch. But look, this isn't the first time in my life I've been knocked down,” Biden admitted.
