The Democratic presidential candidates turned their fire on each other ahead of Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, abandoning a yearlong nonaggression pact as some candidates face defeats that could challenge their ability to go on.
Joe Biden called Pete Buttigieg unqualified to be president as a small-city mayor. Buttigieg fired back that Biden is stuck in an old-fashioned Washington mindset. Bernie Sanders said he would hammer at Buttigieg’s billionaire donor list.
