Biden Retreats from Buttigieg Attack, Vows to Fight Past Tuesday
Joe Biden retreated from his attacks on Pete Buttigieg on Sunday after questioning the surging candidates qualifications to take the White House.
The former vice president, flagging in the polls, returned to more comfortable territory on the trail by offering subtle contrasts with his Democratic opponents and vowing to stay in the race even if he doesnt have a good showing in the New Hampshire primary.
We can talk a lot about the differences between Bernie and Pete and me and Amy and everybody else, he told voters at a town hall in Hampton, New Hampshire, referring to Bernie Sanders, Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar. Theres a lot of differences we have. But not on the fundamental issue: how we restore Americas character. We go about it differently but, folks, weve got to get it done.
Biden insisted hes not conceding the race to his opponents even after coming in fourth place in Iowa and amid expectations he will perform poorly on Tuesday in New Hampshire.
I am more determined than I was before the Iowa caucus for a few of the things that I believe have to be done, he said. And no matter what happens in this state, Im going to feel the same way, Im just going to keep moving. And well see.
