Joe Biden is hoping to cast his fellow frontrunner Elizabeth Warren as an Ivy League liberal 'elitist' who's out of sync with the middle class
Joe Biden on Wednesday dug in on his assertion that Elizabeth Warren is “elitist,” hoping to cast his fellow frontrunner as an Ivy League liberal out of sync with the middle class.on Tuesday and reiterated in a radio interview this morning, underscores a theme central to Biden’s candidacy: that he is the lone Democrat who can win back the white working class voters who swung the 2016 election to Donald Trump.“If you don’t agree with Elizabeth Warren, you must somehow be not a Democrat.
Biden built on an inflammatory Medium post he published Tuesday, in which he wrote, “Some call it the ‘my way or the highway’ approach to politics. But it’s worse than that. It’s condescending to the millions of Democrats who have a different view." There are risks for Biden attempting to paint Warren as elitist, given the mechanisms in which they fund their campaigns. Warren has shunned big-dollar donors and fundraisers; her reliance on grass-roots money has helped catapult her to the top of the field in early states as she swamped Biden in fundraising from July through September.

"Democrats are not gonna win by repeating Republican talking points. … If anyone wants to defend keeping those high profits for insurance companies and those high profits for drug companies, and not making the top 1 percent pay a fair share in taxes, and not making corporations pay a fair share in taxes, then I think they're running in the wrong presidential primary.
