Former Vice President Joe Biden took a direct swipe at Bernie Sanders on Thursday, noting that the senator from Vermont, one of his top competitors in Iowa's caucuses just days away, is not a Democrat.
Biden told reporters that the contrast between Sanders and him is "self-evident," and when asked to expand, said simply, "I'm a Democrat."
Pressed on whether he believes that means Sanders is not, he said, "Well, he says he's not. He's not registered as a Democrat."
Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with Senate Democrats, signed a Democratic Party pledge last year affirming that he would run for president as a Democrat and would serve as one if elected.
Biden continued Thursday that another difference between the two is that Sanders has not acknowledged how much his health care plan will cost, whereas Biden said he had.
"Everything I've suggested to you, that I want to do, I've figured how to pay for it. He's acknowledged he doesn't even know what 'Medicare for All' is going to cost, and how he's going to do it. How do you get something done that way?" Biden said at an impromptu Dairy Queen stop in Pella, Iowa.
