The former South Bend mayor started his speech at the McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner, the state Democratic Party’s biggest annual fundraiser, on Saturday night with a thinly veiled shot at former Vice President Joe Biden, who all but conceded the prior night that he’s unlikely to win the primary on Feb. 11.
“I know some are asking, what business does the South Bend mayor have seeking the highest office in the land,” Buttigieg started, addressing Biden without mentioning him by name. “You don’t have an office in Washington, you don’t have decades of experience in the establishment, the city you are the mayor of isn’t even the biggest city in the country.”
“It is more like Manchester, New Hampshire,” he said, to applause.
Buttigieg’s comments come as Biden escalated attacks on the 38-year old former mayor just one day after they sparred during the eight Democratic debate.

Can someone explain to me the policy differences between “Socialist” Bernie Sanders and “Moderate” Mayor Pete, the Bolshevik Butt Pirate?
I wonder if the media will be covering how Mayor Pete’s man rocks the cloths he wears?
You don’t have decades of profiting from corruption and fraud the way ol’ Joe does. He knows how to cheat and steal!
How did it come to be that more than 10 Americans embrace Bernie’s communism? We live in scary times.
Oh yes!....there’s an area in New Hampshire I stopped for lunch while driving thru a wooded area....I only bought a beverage and left pronto! The comfort register was off the scale! Clearly I was an outsider. I think it was somewhere around Derby.
