Elizabeth Warren is stepping up her attacks on Buttigieg and Biden
Elizabeth Warren will blast Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg for continuing to hold fundraisers with the ultra-wealthy, while calling them “naive” about the fight ahead, according to excerpts of a Thursday speech provided to POLITICO.
“Unlike some candidates for the Democratic nomination, I'm not betting my agenda on the naive hope that if Democrats adopt Republican critiques of progressive policies or make vague calls for unity that somehow the wealthy and well-connected will stand down,” Warren plans to say at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College, in what the campaign considers an attempt to draw a contrast with her rivals.
The campaign felt validated in that approach, given that Warren is usually the second choice among supporters of other candidates. But as she tries to regain the momentum it captured over the summer and early fall, Warren has stepped up her criticism of other top Democrats. Warren does not name her rivals by name, according to the excerpts. But by calling out specific things Biden and Buttigieg have said or done during the campaign, she leaves no room for interpretation. Pointing to Biden telling attendees at one fundraiser that “nothing would fundamentally change,” and to Buttigieg launching a “National Investors Circle” for people who pledge to raise over $250,000 for his campaign, she will argue they are supporting an inherently corrupt system.
“When a candidate brags about how beholden he feels to a group of wealthy investors, our democracy is in serious trouble,” Warren will argue.
