Biden on his gaffe: "Look I misspoke I meant to say wealthy. I've said it 50 -- and on the spot, I explained it. At that very second I explained it. And so the fact of the matter is that I don't think anybody thinks that I meant anything other than what I said I meant." — PolitiTweet.org

Biden adds he is against eliminating the filibuster. "There is a lot of things you can do without giving away what is ultimately a protection for minorities — which is the filibuster. Granted it's being abused now by the majority. But...I am not for changing the filibuster." — PolitiTweet.org

Biden also says guns should have biometric markers similar to unlocking cell phones. "The technology exists today. Why is it any violation of the First Amendment of all to say, from this moment on every weapon...sold America, has to have your biometric marker on it?" — PolitiTweet.org

Biden argues for universal background checks. “The only exception may be to transfer a rifle within a family…You know, the dad gives his son or daughter his shotgun to go hunting. But with limited, limited exceptions it would be total, total background check across the board." — PolitiTweet.org

"This has gone from a cause to a movement” Biden adds. "That's why it's going to happen. That's what will get Mitch to—if he sees enough people, like the moms that are here...and around the country showing up on his doorstep figuratively, literally speaking, he may see the light" — PolitiTweet.org

"You watch what happened when they went up on the halls of Congress. Congressmen were basically cowering not wanting to see them. They did not want to have to face it on camera. What's happening is that they're realizing that the consequences of this gun violence are astounding." — PolitiTweet.org

“I watched what happened when those kids form Parkland came up to see me when I was vice president,” Biden says. "Some of you covered it.” The Parkland shootings occurred in 2018, a year after he left the vice presidency. It’s likely he means Newtown victims, who came in 2013. — PolitiTweet.org

"What's starting to happen is things are different now,” Joe Biden tells reporters of gun control activism. “You have ordinary people who found themselves in the crosshairs — no pun intended — standing up and saying, ‘This has to stop.'" — PolitiTweet.org

Feelings are mixed, and complicated. Some think, on intellectual level, Biden is a solid bet who can win back midwestern states. But they also are not yet sold, saying “he’s old” or “isn’t as compelling verbally” and “I wish he’d get his mojo back." — PolitiTweet.org

After a few days here as Iowa kicks into high gear a few things are clear: There is growing anxiety about Biden. Still a deep uncertainty over the alternative Warren hands down has the best organization Everyone desperately wants the field to narrow https://t.co/raOACdhkxe — PolitiTweet.org

Party activists are increasingly anxious that Joe Biden, the consistent polling leader, has not disposed of persistent questions about whether he is well-equipped to take on Trump. My latest, on the state of play in a very fluid race in Iowa: https://t.co/raOACdhkxe — PolitiTweet.org

Beto O’Rourke is one of the only candidates not here in Iowa at the Wing Ding, instead in El Paso. But he’s recorded a direct-to-camera video that will play in the room. Quite the contrast to the rally-style speeches so far. — PolitiTweet.org

Asked to compare himself with Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden says: "I don’t compare myself to any of em. I like Elizabeth. She’s smart as the devil, and we’ll see who wins the nomination.” Is he looking forward to debating her? "I’m looking forward to debating." — PolitiTweet.org

“I worked for you in ‘08,” a Kamala Harris volunteer tells Joe Biden. “God love ya!” he responds (the reception for him was better at the Harris area than when he passed the Bernie Sanders area) https://t.co/VBLwUar0zG — PolitiTweet.org

Biden response to Trump on his gaffe: “It’s the second anniversary of Charlottesville coming up and they need to divert something.” Don’t these gaffes hurt his electability. “That will be determined pretty soon wont it?” — PolitiTweet.org

“We now have the technology to be able to do James Bond stuff,” Joe Biden says, while talking about gun control. He raises the idea of using biometric technology, reading fingerprints to allow only the person who owns a gun to pull the trigger on that gun. — PolitiTweet.org
