Buttigieg was asked about Iran on Saturday SC. The mayor hit Trump, but he also accused Congress of being "asleep at the switch" on passing a war power resolution. He said Congress needs to "step up" because "in this country, Congress decides when we go to war.” — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg: "We're not having somebody play all nine of the others. It's too complicated. But what you're going to see is we all share pretty common and similar values in the Democratic Party. I think the question on so many voters’ minds is how are we going to win?" — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg that he has recently started practicing for the debates, but that his campaign decided it was “too complicated” to have someone play each of the other nine candidates who will be on the stage with him. "It's going to be great. We can't wait," Buttigieg said. — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg, reflecting on the shooting that has roiled South Bend while speaking in North Augusta, South Carolina, told the audience that "maybe the worst moments in racial injustice in this country were served up at the hands of law enforcement." — PolitiTweet.org

Saturday in North Augusta, South Carolina: Pete Buttigieg is holding an event at a park with a few hundred people. Roughly 100 feet away, there is a quinceanera going on inside the park’s main building and it is audible during lulls in the Buttigieg event. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Pete Buttigieg has been on a largely unabated rise since he picked up significant momentum earlier this year. But the last week has been a challenging one - for the city of South Bend, for the mayor personally and for his campaign. My hit from SC w/ @AnaCabrera: https://t.co/5JPb4fNFT3 — PolitiTweet.org

Leaning into her record, Harris said, "I know how to take on predators.” "We need somebody on our stage... who knows how to recognize a rap sheet when they see it and prosecute the case," she said of Trump and the general election. “Let’s prosecute that case," she added. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kamala Harris delivered a fiery speech at the South Carolina Democratic Party convention on Saturday aimed squarely at her ability to “prosecute” President Donald Trump during the general election. "We are not going back. We are not going back," she said. "We see a future!" — PolitiTweet.org

The tensions that marked the week seemed to disappear on this balmy South Carolina night. On the side of the stage, packs of men and women gathered to wait, watch and mingle. And it was very friendly. w/ @GregJKrieg: https://t.co/t80teCYced — PolitiTweet.org

Warren, Harris, Sanders and Booker clearly have the most fired up supporters outside tonight’s Clyburn Fish Fry. Small showings for Biden and Buttigieg. Others with none at all. https://t.co/KdzZlhU6i2 — PolitiTweet.org
