Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden dismissed the suggestion that his rivals Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg are garnering real enthusiasm from voters during a blunt conversation with reporters Monday.

“You don’t see that with Warren. Stop kidding a kidder. OK, come on, man, give me a break,” Biden said of the Massachusetts senator, who’s drawing large crowds, though she’s fallen from her highs in state and national polls. “Look at the polling everywhere. OK. Tell me. Tell me where this great enthusiasm is manifesting itself.”
