Buttigieg tells an audience in Atlanta that, "Even though the president is deservedly unpopular, he could win again." He goes on to say he thinks Democrats will lose is they promise normalcy or going back to the 1990s or 2000s, despite that being powerful for some Dem voters. — PolitiTweet.org

So, Biden told a voter in May that he supports getting rid of Hyde. His campaign tells reporters this week that the VP still supports Hyde. And after two days of tough coverage, Biden announces today he now wants to get rid of Hyde. — PolitiTweet.org

VP Joe Biden backtracks on his one-time support of the Hyde amendment: "If I believe healthcare is a right as I do, I can no longer support an amendment that makes that right dependent on someone’s zip code." He is speaking at a DNC event in ATL. — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting moment here: The moderator of Buttigieg's grassroots fundraiser notes the fact that the audience here in Atlanta is predominantly white. "We have got to build trust at light speed, which is not how it usually works," the mayor says. — PolitiTweet.org

Question for Buttigieg here in Atlanta: "Did you find love in South Bend?" Buttigieg: "I found love online." — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg is doing a lot to tie himself to Stacey Abrams today in ATL. - He met with her at a local cafe. - He said, "Stacey Abrams ought to be the governor of Georgia" in his speech" to the DNC - He told reporters afterwards that he has "a great relationship" w/ Abrams — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg: "I just think, in this moment, it is especially important for us to be standing for women’s reproductive rights in every way that we can, according, of course, to what we actually believe and if different candidates believe different things, they can say so." — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Buttigieg, in a conversation with reporters here in ATL, said he was “surprised” to learn that Vice President Joe Biden supports keeping the Hyde amendment. "I thought he had said something else, so I wasn’t sure if the position has evolved or not," Buttigieg said. — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg also lambasted the Trump administration, calling out the Secretary of Education and accusing the administration of pushing “peak white identity politics designed to drive us all apart.” — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Buttigieg highlights the need to speak up on issues even if they aren't directly impacting you. "Yes, because I am white, it is twice as important that I stand up to inequality that is visited upon the heads of black Americans in our country today," he said. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg, speaking at the DNC African American Leadership Summit in Atlanta, thanks @TomPerez for beating him in the race for DNC chair because "I wouldn’t be where I am if I were in the role I sought at the DNC." — PolitiTweet.org

Gillibrand, per @meredithk27, has seen an uptick in new daily donations since May 1, especially in the last week. Per Kelly, Gillibrand’s new daily donors since May 1 are three times larger than the rest of the campaign. That number has jumped to over 7 times in the last week. — PolitiTweet.org

This is very much about Buttigieg saying he would not have called for then-Sen. Al Franken's resignation in 2017: https://t.co/T0dfDh8flx — PolitiTweet.org

More Gillibrand responding: "Yes, it was Senator Franken's decision alone to leave the Senate - a path he ultimately chose - but for many senators, including myself and others in this primary field, that was not too high of a bar to raise our voice and make clear we value women." — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Gillibrand responds to Buttigieg: "Eight credible allegations of sexual harassment, two since he was elected Senator, and one from a congressional staffer. That is not too high a standard, regardless of how the Republican party handles this behavior, and worse." (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org
