Sanders appeared to broadcast his points of attack against Biden as the two compete at the top of most national and early state polls, continuing a weeks-long back-and-forth between the two 2020 front-runners that has focused largely on foreign policy.
The video features Sanders speechwriter David Sirota highlighting Sanderss attacks on Biden for voting for the Iraq War while he was in the Senate, a criticism the campaign has heavily promoted following increased turmoil in Iran and the broader Middle East.
When you look at my record vs. Joe Biden's record, I just don't think that Biden's record is going to bring forth the energy that we need to defeat Trump. pic.twitter.com/Y8UJYJT6wT

Joe Biden voted and helped lead the effort for the war in Iraq, the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in the modern history of this country, Sanders says in a CNN clip replayed in the video.
Biden not only helped Republicans pass the Iraq War resolution; he led the fight to help Republicans vote down Democratic amendments to limit that resolution, Sirota adds.
The video goes on to slam Biden over his support for the disastrous North American Free Trade Agreement, which has been a top target for President Trump and progressives alike. The video also bashes the former vice presidents past efforts to cut government spending for Social Security and support for a bankruptcy bill that, Sanders said, caused enormous financial problems for working families.
Sanders and Biden are expected to tangle further at Tuesday nights primary debate in Iowa as polls for the Hawkeye State, which holds the nations first nominating contest on Feb. 3, show them locked in a tight battle for the races lead along with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
Biden and Sanders increasingly began to feud after this months killing of Qassem Soleimani, Irans top general. Biden maintained that he was best fit to guide American foreign policy because of his years serving on the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee and as vice president, leading Sanders to pounce on controversial calls such as Biden's Iraq War vote.
Unreal, are you little jealous because he has whole lot more experience then you...such hate you have ..my option,,

(24,123 posts)based on their respective records. If Joe is proud of his vote leading to the Iraq War, then let him sing his own praises... yet, he is strangely quiet. Why?

Spend the 3 days directly before the debate making every other candidate mad at you, while specifically showing them how you plan to attack them at the debate.
I'm betting he's going to take a lot more than he gives tonight.
