Pete Buttigieg fired a shot at Joe Biden today, and Biden fired back.

“I hear Vice President Biden saying that this is no time to take a risk on someone new. But history has shown us that the biggest risk we could take with a very important election coming up is to look to the same Washington playbook and recycle the same arguments and expect that to work against a president like Donald Trump,” Buttigieg said in Decorah, Iowa, on Thursday, the Washington Examiner reports.

While getting ice cream at Dairy Queen, Biden was asked about the “Washington playbook” jab.

Biden responds to @PeteButtigieg swipe earlier that he follows a “Washington playbook.” Biden said Pete “must be deciding things are getting a little tough” by contrasting w/rivals.

“He must be deciding things are getting a little tight,” Biden said dismissively.

“I’m not sure what he means.”

According to CBS’s Bo Erickson, Biden noted he’s “gotten more than 8,600 votes in his life.”

Biden last ran nationally while Buttigieg ran for mayor in the tiny city of South Bend, Indiana.
