'Same Washington playbook': Buttigieg blasts Biden as yesterday's man

Pete Buttigieg singled out Democratic primary rivals Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders by name while arguing he’s best positioned to take on President Trump in 2020, a notable shift from his usual indirect swipes.

“I hear Vice President Biden saying that this is no time to take a risk on someone new. But history has shown us that the biggest risk we could take with a very important election coming up is to look to the same Washington playbook and recycle the same arguments and expect that to work against a president like Donald Trump,” Buttigieg, former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and the youngest candidate in the race at 38, said during a campaign stop in Decorah, Iowa, on Thursday.
