Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders directly attacked his top competitor for the Democratic nomination Thursday; saying Joe Biden’s policy towards China and manufacturing jobs is just “wrong.”
“Since the China trade deal I voted against, America has lost over 3 million manufacturing jobs. It’s wrong to pretend that China isn’t one of our major economic competitors. When we are in the White House we will win that competition by fixing our trade policies,” posted Sanders on social media.

South Bend, Indiana Mayor and rising Democratic star Pete Buttigieg slammed American-style capitalism Tuesday; saying he believes the current system “has let a lot of people down” across the country.
