Democratic debate 2019: Joe Biden mangles his own campaign pitch

Joe Biden fumbled during his closing statement at the Democratic presidential debate on Wednesday, erroneously encouraging prospective supporters to “go to Joe 30330″ — rather than texting “Joe” to the campaign number.

“If you agree with me go to Joe 30-330 and help me in this fight,” Biden closed out, as if the name-and-number combination was his campaign website.

The 76-year-old presidential hopeful’s team was quick to clarify the snafu — blasting out a tweet from Biden’s official campaign account directing people to “text JOE to 30330.”

“I just got off the stage where I shared my bold vision for our future built on uniting our country. Because I know if we work together, there’s nothing we can’t do,” read part of the tweet.

“Let’s keep our momentum going. If you liked what you heard tonight, text JOE to 30330 and let’s get to work”

Earlier Wednesday, Biden joined the millennial-dominated social media app Snapchat in an apparent bid to appeal to the youths.
