Joe Biden escalated his criticism of Pete Buttigieg, mocking Buttigieg's experience as mayor of South Bend, Indiana.
Biden's biting attacks on Buttigieg's relatively thin resume mark a new, more aggressive attempt to slow the momentum of the youngest candidate in the Democratic field. The 38-year-old emerged from Iowa in an effective tie with Sen. Bernie Sanders, but faces questions about whether his eight years as mayor of South Bend, Indiana — a city of about 100,000 people — prepared him for the presidency.
Biden's campaign is urgently trying to recalibrate, shaking up its senior leadership and signaling that the former vice president won't go down without a fight. On Saturday morning, the campaign posted an online video attacking Buttigieg that was one of the harshest intraparty broadsides of the Democratic primary.
Buttigieg’s campaign accused Biden of trivializing the work that goes on in small cities across the country, and of political desperation. Buttigieg has argued that while the Obama administration had successes, the country is in a different place than it was four years ago and requires new leadership. He's also tried to draw comparisons to Obama, highlighting his ability to overcome questions about his own inexperience during the 2008 campaign.“This guy's not a Barack Obama,” he told reporters.
“This is a diverse party,” Biden said. “It’s the reason why we’re strong. Our nominee has to reflect that strength.” “New Hampshire broke through and said to the establishment, ‘You know what, standing up for working families is not a radical idea,'" he said.
