GOFFSTOWN – Both New Hampshire and national polls show Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren losing ground to rivals Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg during the last month.

With New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation (#FITN) primary now within two months, Warren recognizes the need to turn the tide.

“Unlike some candidates for the Democratic nomination, I’m not counting on Republican politicians having an epiphany and suddenly supporting the kinds of tax increases on the rich or big-business accountability they have opposed under Democratic presidents for a generation,” Warren said during her Thursday talk at New Hampshire Institute for Politics in Goffstown.

Warren has centered her candidacy on proposing structural changes to remake the political and economic system. She wants a 2% tax on fortunes worth $50 million-plus and a levy three times that on anyone who has a net worth of more than $1 billion. She pledges to use that tax money to offer universal child care and free tuition at public universities while wiping out most student debt for 42 million Americans and helping finance a Medicare for All plan providing government-sponsored health care nationwide.

“Any Democrat who has fought for real change has been branded a socialist or radical,” Warren added.

The Real Clear Politics poll average for New Hampshire shows that Warren has lost 6.4 points within the last month, dropping from 19.7 on Nov. 12 to 13.3 on Thursday.

During the exact same time period, Buttigieg has gained 6.4 points, jumping from 11.3 to 17.7.

Buttigieg campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith blasted Warren on Thursday.

“Senator Warren’s idea of how to defeat Donald Trump is to tell people who don’t support her that they are unwelcome in the fight and that those who disagree with her belong in the other party,” Smith said.

Meanwhile, during her discussion, Warren went after another Democratic rival: Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose estimated net worth exceeds $50 billion.

“It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of Michael Bloomberg. That has been made clear through the years.” Warren has been quite vocal in her criticism of billionaire Bloomberg, who has already spent millions of dollars on advertising after just recently joining the 2020 Democratic field.

She shifted the focus directly on herself, noting that Washington insiders, Wall Street executives and billionaires are spending their time and money with ads aimed squarely at her.

“They believe that I am the biggest threat to a corrupt system that has enriched them at the expense of everyone else,” she said. “And they’re right.”

And in a guised reference to Buttigieg’s fundraising brawn, Warren said, “We know that another calls the people who raise a quarter-million dollars for him his ‘National Investors Circle,’ and he offers them regular phone calls and special access.”

“When a candidate brags about how beholden he feels to a group of wealthy investors,” Warren added, “our democracy is in serious trouble.”

Her plan, she said, is a way to build a “grass-roots movement,” of Democrats, Independents and Republicans.

The fiery senator’s platform is simple and popular: Squash the corruption in Washington and put an end to a rigged economy which only serves the super wealthy.

“No one should be surprised that I believe in markets,” she continued. “I’m proud about what American businesses can create and I want them to thrive. But markets without rules are theft.”

Ultimately, a confident Warren acknowledged the potential difficulty of her agenda, saying, “”Will I have a magic wand to enact my full agenda? Of course not. No president does. I know I will have to compromise, but that’s not where we start.”
