08 February 2020It was the clash between the former Mayor of South Bend, Pete Buttigieg, and the Senator of Vermont, Bernie Sanders, to dominate the scene of the dem debate that took place during the night at Saint Anselm College in Manchester in view of the Tuesday primaries in New Hampshire.The two candidates, leading the caucus in Ohio, which left behind a long trail of controversy over the technical problems in the vote, spared no accusations and low blows. The 38-year-old Buttigieg defended himself against accusations of inexperience and, referring to the 78-year-old rival, urged the Americans to choose a candidate who "will leave past politics in the past".
Sanders, for his part, called Buttigieg the Wall Street candidate. "Pete, I don't have 40 billionaires contributing to my election campaign," said the senator. Former Vice President Joe Biden, for some still the favorite for the Democratic nomination, admitted defeat in Ohio and stressed that even in New Hampshire "I will probably take a hit", adding: "I have always seen the first four dates, two primary and two caucuses, as a starting point ".
Then he pointed his finger at Buttigieg. "He is an exceptional boy and a true patriot," but "he is a mayor of a small town who has done good things, but has not shown that he has the ability - and we will soon find out - to gain broad support among African Americans. and Hispanics, "said Biden. "I freely admit that if you are looking for the person with the most years of establishment experience in Washington, you have your candidate, and obviously it's not me," replied the former mayor of South Bend.
