This is also Tulsi Gabbard's fourth qualifying poll for the November debate, meaning the Hawaii congresswoman will be on the stage later this month in Atlanta. — PolitiTweet.org

This poll also further shows Buttigieg's steady rise and Warren's continued front-runner status in Iowa, a key reason that the mayor has started to focus on the senator in the state. Our story on that here: https://t.co/ba7tQn2z4O — PolitiTweet.org

In the first few minutes of his bus tour, Pete Buttigieg said he misspoke. He hadn't meant to say that the 2020 race was a two-person race between himself and Elizabeth Warren. His message this weekend told a different story. Our story: https://t.co/ba7tQn2z4O — PolitiTweet.org

During the three-day bus tour, Buttigieg argued Warren’s message is divisive, questioned calls for "purity" and decried what he called a “my way or the highway approach." "It's definitely not unifying," Buttigieg said about Warren's message. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Pete Buttigieg's campaign believes Elizabeth Warren is their biggest obstacle in Iowa, so the mayor spent the weekend decrying "purity" to contrast himself with the Massachusetts senator. "Fighting is not enough," Buttigieg told CNN. Our story: https://t.co/GI3Ro3Cr2i — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Buttigieg added "there is a real risk right now of this going from tension to catastrophe." Within our lifetime, he said, we will see a "solution like a two state solution… or we are going to see Israel have to choose between either being a democracy or being a Jewish state." — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Buttigieg was asked on his bus tour about Israel. He said he has "never advocated withholding aid” to Israel, but does believe that the US needs to “take steps to make sure the US taxpayers is not contributing” to actions like annexation. — PolitiTweet.org

Mary Jo is a diehard Trump supporter. She voted for him in 2016 & plans to again in 2020. That said, she was happy Buttigieg came through. “It means a lot. We always say they go from Mason City to Algona, they don’t even come into little towns. We don’t mean anything to them.” — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg signs the wall at Mary Jo’s Hobo House in Britt, Iowa. Mary Jo says only a few types of people can sign the wall: Hobos, town notables & presidential candidates. (Buttigieg, she says, is the first candidate to come to the Hobo House... so it’s a new rule) https://t.co/hAGBbNt64S — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg tells @NewDay that he is 'really concerned' with Democratic 'my way or the highway' messaging. He singles out Warren. "Warren and some of the others (are) saying that you are either for her way, or you are for business as usual. That is just not true," he says. — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg in Charles City says, "I definitely don’t believe who you voted for makes you a bad person or a good person." This comment - which he has made multiple times in Iowa - fits with much of his messaging this weekend. — PolitiTweet.org

An 11-year-old in Charles City asks Buttigieg if he has a plan to tax the wealthy. Buttigieg mentions raising income taxes and taxes on investments. "I don’t want to be mean to wealthy people," he says, "but you have to pay your share." — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg was asked how he would debate Trump. "There is more to strength" than being loudest, Buttigieg says. He adds, "The loud mouth at the end of the bar isn’t exactly who you would turn to when the chips are down." — PolitiTweet.org
