Biden Retrieved on New Attack Ad Against Buttigieg Over Fears of Reprisal, Book Claims
22:15 GMT 16.09.2021 (Updated: 18:25 GMT 03.11.2022) According to the forthcoming book titled “Peril, written by Washington Post journalist Bob Woodard and Robert Costa, then-candidate Joe Biden reluctantly approved a campaign ad, reprimanding his then-primary rival Pete Buttigieg’s record as a South Bend mayor.
Woodward and Costa’s new book “Peril” claims how Biden’s campaign pulled together a new attack called
Pete’s Record after facing struggle in the Democratic presidential primary in early 2020. Which contrasted Buttgieg’s experience as mayor with Biden’s experience as vice president.
The ad makes a sarcastic remark implying that both candidates have helped “shape our economy”.
“Joe Biden led the passage and implementation of the Recovery Act, saving our economy from a depression,” the ad said, before the background music transitioned to a more mellow tone. “Pete Buttgieg revitalized the sidewalks of Downtown South Bend by laying out decorative brick.”
The ad also compared Pete Buttigieg’s installing of decorative lights under bridges with Biden’s effort to help lead the passage of the Affordable Care Act.
Biden allegedly changed his mind just six hours after approving its release, fearing the attack ad would receive criticism and be seen as a desperate attempt to smear Buttgieg’s image.
“Take it off,” Biden reportedly told his senior adviser Mike Donilon. “Take it back. I don’t want it airing any longer. Take it down!”
By then the ad had made its way through the media and YouTube.
Buttigieg eventually dropped out of the race, endorsed Biden and was later nominated by the new chairman to take on the position of Transportation secretary.
