(177,297 posts)45. Biden defends record after Warren attacks: I'm a 'card-carrying Democrat'
Link to tweet
Yesterday, Elizabeth Warren suggested I was running in the wrong presidential primary because I believe in building on Obamacare not getting rid of it. That's so wrong, its almost laughable. Ive been a card-carrying Democrat since I was 27. And I am running for president because of my progressive record, Biden wrote in an email to supporters, hitting Warren for registering as a Republican for years before becoming a Democrat.
If my opponents want to have a debate on what they've done to truly implement progressive, meaningful change in our country not what theyre planning, not what theyre proposing, but what theyve accomplished I welcome it, he added, swiping at Warrens Ive got a plan for that mantra. But to hurl insults because we dont share the same approach for the best way to get to the same goal well that is something I would expect in the other primary. .
Biden slammed Warrens Medicare for All plan Friday, saying that the plan's proposed $9 trillion tax on employers would be passed off to companies employees.
For months, Elizabeth Warren has refused to say if her health care plan would raise taxes on the middle class, and now we know why: because it does, said Biden deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield. Senator Warren would place a new tax of nearly $9 trillion that will fall on American workers.

It does. Slipping in the polls, she is probably being pushed. Or maybe that's the direction she feel

Its Biden who is slipping in the polls, I don't expect him to be in it for the long haul.

Sanders is ahead of Biden in both Iowa and NH, plus has much more money on hand, so no.

Do we call them Republicans? That's the attack at hand, not criticism in general. Surely Warren
