The New Hampshire primary race heated up Saturday as backers of Sen. Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg tried to shout one another down at a state Democratic dinner.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — The dispute over the Iowa caucus’s winner bled into New Hampshire Saturday night, where supporters of Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders traded chants of “Buttigieg Won” and “Bernie Won” prior to the state party’s annual dinner. If polling in the Granite State is accurate, Tuesday’s primary is headed toward another tight finish between the former South Bend, Ind. mayor and the Vermont senator.
With Buttigieg coming off a strong finish in Iowa and surging in recent New Hampshire polls, Sanders supporters in the crowd weren’t the only Democrats to take aim. Biden’s campaign launched a new digital ad Saturday comparing Buttigieg’s record as mayor to that of Biden’s vice presidency, underlining attacks Biden had begun earlier this week where he said that nominating someone whose highest office was mayor of a city of 100,000 against President Trump was too great a risk.
Hours after Biden’s ad went up, the Sanders campaign released their own attack on Buttigieg, over his big-ticket fund-raising events. And Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., alluded to Buttigieg’s campaign’s reliance on wealthy donors and what she described as a candidacy designed by campaign consultants.
A new CNN poll indicated that Biden’s core argument, electability, had crumbled in New Hampshire, with just 25 percent of respondents saying they thought Biden had the best chance of winning in November, a 16 percentage point drop from last month. His debate performance didn’t help his cause, with an Ipsos poll showing those that watched were less likely to vote for him.
