Biden mocks rival Buttigieg's record as small city mayor
1 / 4Election 2020 Joe BidenDemocratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden clenches his fist as he speaks at a campaign event, Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020, in Manchester, N.H. .MANCHESTER, N.H.
Biden is trying to avoid falling far behind both Buttigieg and Sanders in a second straight nominating contest. Both appear in strong position in New Hampshire ahead of Tuesday's primary, while Biden has conceded he expects to take a “hit” in the state. Buttigieg’s inexperience is among his chief vulnerabilities as he pitches voters on his preparedness for the Oval Office. He’s argued that his tenure as mayor, particularly of a Rust Belt city, gives him a better feel for the concerns of voters Democrats need to win back in 2020. But he has not yet had to defend the substance of his record against the kind of specific attack Biden launched.
Buttigieg's calls for generational change and his criticism of Washington has irked some of his rivals, including Biden, who has accused the former mayor of undercutting the work of the Obama administration. Buttigieg, meanwhile, has struggled to build support with black voters, raising questions about whether his early momentum will be blunted when the campaign heads south.
During a campaign event on Saturday, Sanders said that previous victory gave him crucial credibility with voters.
