Joe Biden stepped up attacks on his Democratic rivals Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders while campaigning in New Hampshire Wednesday, a day after results out of the Iowa caucuses showed the former vice president in fourth place in the first nominating contest.
The gloves came off during a town hall in Somersworth, when Biden said that Buttigieg’s limited experience in leadership as mayor of South Bend, Indiana, would make him a risky choice as the party’s nominee.
