Recent polls show Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and Mayor of South Bend., Ind., Pete Buttigieg in a close race in New Hampshire’s primary.
A left-leaning article by The New York Times highlights that on the last day before the New Hampshire primary, Sanders and Buttigieg gave starkly different messages as they aggressively escalated their rivalry, using each other as a foil to press their divergent cases for the presidency. While Sanders pitches himself as a democratic socialist who wants a political revolution that will lift up working-class Americans, Buttigieg pitches himself as an agent of political and generational change, offering a more moderate path to winning the White House for the Democratic Party.
NPR published a centrist article reporting that on Saturday, Joe Biden’s campaign launched an attack ad that belittled Pete Buttieg’s experience as the mayor of South Bend, Ind. The article also notes that Bernie Sanders won New Hampshire by 22 points four years ago. Furthermore, Senators Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren are getting squeezed out of the conversation as the focus turns to Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg going after each other.
A right-leaning article by The Daily Caller highlights that Sanders is going after Buttigieg and is expected to “steamroll” New Hampshire. The article states that Sanders’ recent attacks on Buttigieg could mean that he sees Buttigieg as a greater threat than former Vice President Biden.
