Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg slammed President Donald Trump for “chest thumping militarism” and warned that the rising tensions with Iran “could very quickly get away from this president.” And at a campaign event in the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire, the one-time long shot for the nomination who’s surged the past two months to become a credible contender, vowed that “I’m going to win” as he took an indirect jab at former Vice President Joe Biden, the clear front-runner right now in the Democratic 2020 race.
