Buttigieg comes on stage to help the audience ask the mayor questions. Chasten opens with "Did your style improve when Chasten came on the scene?" Pete says, "Well, my socks match, so that is progress," adding that Chasten threatens to take "my gay membership card" over style. — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg at LGBTQ fundraiser in NY: "We haven’t seen equality come to the land, not by a long shot, butt think about what it means that 50 years after Stonewall, we could be gathered in a room with a top tier candidate for the American presidency and be in a room his husband." — PolitiTweet.org

Julian Castro's campaign says the candidate raised three times more than his best fundraising day after Wednesday's debate. "To put the growth in context, over Wednesday and Thursday the campaign raised 3,266 percent more money than it had the previous two days," they say. — PolitiTweet.org

California Sen. Kamala Harris said Friday that she misinterpreted a question about abolishing private health insurance at Thursday night's 2020 Democratic debate, despite the fact that she raised her hand when asked if she would eliminate it https://t.co/KFphP8WzCq — PolitiTweet.org

.@adamslily just told @NewDay that @IanSams played Vice President Biden "most of the time" in Kamala Harris' debate prep. — PolitiTweet.org

Harris builds on her argument against Biden on MSNBC, saying that she & Biden have "a difference of opinion on state’s rights." "I was actually a bit surprised to hear how he described, in defense of his position, his perspective on the role of the federal government," she said. — PolitiTweet.org

Harris, in a blunt, pointed attack that mixed her personal story and race, took Biden to task for his decades-old fight against busing to desegregate schools and comments about his ability to be civil and work with segregationist senators https://t.co/TiKNSeyQ6M — PolitiTweet.org

Kamala Harris went into Thursday night’s debate looking to demonstrate she belonged in the top tier of candidates. She left the stage with proof. How Harris left Joe Biden reeling with a shuddering, personal attack rooted in race: https://t.co/TiKNSeheIc — PolitiTweet.org

Harris’ fundraising boomed after Thursday night’s debate and her clash with Biden, an aide told CNN. The campaign, the aide said, raised more money on Thursday – the day of the debate – than any day of the campaign other than Harris’ launch day and the day after the launch. — PolitiTweet.org

Hickenlooper told reporters after the debate that he didn’t expect the contest to get that contentious & was “surprised” by how “direct” the Harris/Biden confrontation got. “That was a pretty direct,” he said. “I was surprised in the first debate that it was so direct.” — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Pete Buttigieg admitted at Thursday's debate that his police force in South Bend lacked diversity because he “couldn’t get it done.” — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

And that is moment of the debate: Harris tells Biden she does "not believe" he is racist, but she adds that she found it "hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States Senators who built their reputations and career on segregation of race in this country." — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg added: “For a party that associates with Christianity to say it is okay to suggest that god would smile on the division of families at the hands of federal agents, that god would condone putting children in cages, has lost all claim to ever use religion language again.” — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Buttigieg, in arguably his best received moment of the campaign, lambasted the GOP touting their close ties to Christian leaders at the same time that they are separating families at the border and putting children into detention centers. "We should call out hypocrisy," he said. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Harris in response to an immigration question: "I will release children from cages. I will get rid of the private detention centers." — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Buttigieg used his question on providing undocumented immigrants with health insurance - he was for it - to pivot to a push for immigration reform and a condemnation of Washington. "It just makes no sense and the American people agree on what to do," he said. — PolitiTweet.org

As the audience gasped, Swalwell added: “He was right when he said that 32 years ago. He is still right today." — PolitiTweet.org

Most direct line of the night came from Swalwell: “I was 6 years old when a presidential candidate came to the California democratic convention and said it's time to pass the torch to a new generation of Americans. That candidate was then Senator Joe Biden.” — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg explains his opposition to tuition free college by saying he supports it for low and middle income students, but not the rich: "I just don’t believe it makes sense to ask working class families to subsidize even the children of billionaires." — PolitiTweet.org
