Pete Buttigieg thanks @JDScholten for introducing him today in Sioux City. "I don’t know what his plans are but I know Washington could use a few more people like him," Buttigieg says, nodding to the possibility that Scholten will run for Senate or House (again). — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Seth Moulton says that while he applauds Pete Buttigieg for his plan on national service, he believes the South Bend mayor should “go bigger” and move closer to the plan the Massachusetts Democrat rolled out earlier this year. — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg, in interview with @jaketapper, responds to his $24.8 million fundraising total by saying "the great news about (it) is it means we're going to have the resources to do it, to hire the organizers on the ground in the early states and to get our message out." — PolitiTweet.org

.@jaketapper: “What do you say to those who say, hey, the president's just trying to honor current service members?” Buttigieg: “I think the president's trying to honor himself and again, my worry is that it ultimately makes us look smaller.” — PolitiTweet.org

In an email to supporters Wednesday, Joe Biden announced he raised $21.5 million for his presidential campaign since getting into the race on April 25. That means South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg - with $24.8 million raised - is almost guaranteed to win the Q2 fundraising race. — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg says this plan is rooted in his own military service: “I served alongside and trusted my life to people who held totally different political views. You shouldn't have to go to war in order to have that kind of experience, which is why I am proposing” this plan. — PolitiTweet.org

The reality: Hickenlooper has said - over and over again - how much he doesn't want to run for Senate. "If the Senate is so good, how come all those senators are trying to get out," he asked earlier this year after being asked why he wasn't running for Senate. — PolitiTweet.org
