Following what appears to be a disappointing finish in Iowa, former Vice President Joe Biden took direct aim at two of his main rivals for the Democratic nomination during a speech in Somersworth, New Hampshire.

SOMERSWORTH, New Hampshire -- Following what appears to be a disappointing finish in Iowa, former Vice President Joe Biden took direct aim at two of his main rivals for the Democratic nomination during a speech in Somersworth, New Hampshire on Wednesday afternoon, arguing that one's embrace of a 'socialist' label and the other's lack of experience are too great a risk to take in the fight to unseat President Donald Trump.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., speaks during a campaign rally, Feb. 5, 2020, in Derry, N.H. The move is significant for Biden, who has largely tried to stay away from criticism of his Democratic opponents, warning against the formation of what former President Obama called “a circular firing squad” during an Obama Foundation event in Berlin, Germany last year.

Earlier in his speech, and for the first time since the release of preliminary Iowa caucus results, which show him in fourth place behind Buttigieg, Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Biden acknowledged the disappointing finish in the state. “I know there are an awful lot of folks out there who are -- write off this campaign. But it's gone -- But I’ll tell you what, they've been trying to do that from the moment I entered the race. Well, I've got news for them. I'm not going anywhere. I’m not going anywhere. And I’m counting on New Hampshire. We’re gonna come back

He campaigned for Republicans lol

Call it a Day Joe Biden before you embarrass yourself and your family any further.

Typical....can’t assume responsibility for anything himself! Always someone else’s fault

Stick a fork in joe. He’s done.

Joe is not a good leader for the Dems.

Everyone who wanted an Obama 3rd term here it is.

Creepy groper should drop out and preserve whatever's left of his dignity.

Creepy Joe will never be president hahaha

JoeBiden you knocked Pete (⬇️exp. 4 POTUS) & rightly so but claiming SenSanders is not a Democratic Socialist? Joe, Plz don't lie. Bernie's researched Europe, Scandinavia, & other 'Happy Countries' w/ great lives & economy b/c he cares about both citizen & business well-being.

he should just quit

Joe Biden still wants to make compromises with Klansmen.

Biden won 0 delegates in 3 presidential runs.

The “baggage” Sanders is talking about is joes voting record in war, social security cuts, Medicare cuts etc. it’s not personal popularity issues of who likes joe

Appears?

Attacking the front-runner? Disgusting.

Good luck with that

Joe Biden campaigned for Fred Upton (R-MI) 2 years ago lmfaooo

Hello, 911! Please send the Tone Police. Our disunity is showing.

While reading from a teleprompter🙄 Yikes

his reason for entering the race is that he'd win back some white working class votes, but now he's hoping that more diverse states will save his campaign. nonsense

Joe Biden campaigned for Republicans in 2018

drop out Joe

Bless his heart

JoeBiden remember take the higher road if the people choose someone else back that Dem I hope it’s you but if not do the right thing put the $ left from your campaign to that candidate...remove the cancer in the White House

Obama’s VP LOL

Instead of launching attacks. Maybe all the Dem candidates need to just compare policies , in a civil manner !!

Biden is done. Forget it Joe!

He’s finished, he’s just bitter and pathetic now. Please Biden do everyone a favor and quit.

So the wall street bailout was not socialism?

Desperation never looks good - retire with dignity

“That’s A Bad Night”: Biden Supporters Spooked By Iowa DudThe former veep didn’t necessarily need to win Iowa to stay on top—but the guy counting on his “electability” probably should’ve done better than fourth. Iowa is 1 State of 50. We who love Joe Biden stand behind him even if the good people of Iowa have another idea. It seems like he doesn't even want it. He's just going through the motions. It's weird. Might?
