The gloves are coming off in Iowa as Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., slammed former Vice President Joe Biden's "weak" record, warning Democrats that Biden's candidacy won't excite the base enough to defeat President Trump in a general election. In an interview with The Washington Post published Thursday, Sanders appealed to primary voters to look past Biden's "perceived electability" and instead focus on voters' "appetite for sweeping change." “It’s just a lot of baggage that Joe takes into a campaign, which isn’t going to create energy and excitement,” Sanders told The Post. But a lot of working-class folks like Joe Biden. Joe Biden and the Bernie Sanders campaign are talking to a lot of the same people."
