Ameshia Cross @AmeshiaCross: .@PeteButtigieg gets it. He perfectly laid out the challenges teachers face and the high stakes expectations we have for them including in school gun violence situations. The burden of teachers is a daily focus for him. He's married to one #DemDebate
Jen Psaki @jrpsaki: So the youngest guy on the stage has the most thoughtful and comprehensive answer on the threats we face. Imagine that.

BET @BET: Mayor Pete reminds the candidates that it’s not just the Presidency that needs addressing, but also the House and Senate. #DemDebate #ReclaimYourVote
Frank Luntz @FrankLuntz: .@PeteButtigieg is right – moderates are why the Democratic Party won back the House in 2018. @JusticeDems flipped exactly zero red seats to blue.
Derrick Johnson @DerrickNAACP: .@PeteButtigieg addresses #votersuppression at the #DemDebate. This is one of the most serious issues facing our community, and I’d like to see other candidates take on this issue. Our vote is our power.
Robert Wolf @robertwolf: #DemDebate @PeteButtigieg is spot on by bringing up the huge concern for all Dems with the prospect of putting the House majority at risk & lowering the chances of taking the Senate. Top of the ticket is key for up & down the ballot
SC Representative JA Moore @jamooreforsc15: Gun violence is personal to me. My dear sister had her life cut short in the Emanuel AME church shooting. Like @PeteButtigieg said, we can’t have a third school shooting generation. Shame on us if we don’t act to prevent it. #DemDebate

Maria Shriver @mariashriver: Smart of @PeteButtigieg to address mental health challenges in schools. So many teachers say they are dealing with this. We need more school psychologists! #demdebate
Jorge Andres @IBThatRaspOnTV: He has not memorized talking points. HE IS JUST SMART ...... People need to get that and get to know @PeteButtigieg. A HUGE part of critical thinking is critical listening. LISTEN. #demdebate @PeteForAmerica
