DJ Judd has a thread on the Red Oak panel….

Good morning from Red Oak, Iowa, stop one of Pete Buttigieg’s four scheduled stops across Iowa today. The South Bend Mayor is set to hold a round table here at the Red Coach Inn within the hour.

We’ve made it to Pete Buttigieg’s second stop of the day, a town hall in Creston, Iowa. We’re at the Creston Y, and Florence and the Machine’s “Dog Days are Over” is playing in the gymnasium. pic.twitter.com/Q16hNaztzJ

STOP #3: ATLANTIC, IA

Check out this thread of Q&A during this town hall from DJ Judd.

First q for Pete Buttigieg is on the cost of long term care— the voter says she’s a “future former Republican,” who “switched to the Dem Party to vote for you...but don’t blame Trump on me, I didn’t vote for him.” He says, “Welcome aboard, we’re glad to have you in this movement”
