Joe Biden mangled his campaign’s web address at the end of the Democratic debate — and then Pete Buttigieg's campaign bought the domain name

• Former Vice President Joe Biden confused pretty much everyone in his closing statement at the second Democratic debate, telling people to go to "joe30330" — a website that doesn't exist.
• People quickly figured that Biden probably meant to ask people to text "JOIN" to the number 30330, as outlined in his Twitter bio, but it didn't stop the Internet from pouncing on Biden's mistake. 
• Rival candidate Mayor Pete Buttigieg's campaign quickly swooped in to buy the domain name to "joe30330.com" and made it re-direct to their own campaign website.

Former Vice President Joe Biden confused pretty much everyone in his closing statement at the second Democratic debate, telling people to go to "joe30330" — a website that doesn't exist — to support his campaign.

"And we choose the idea that we can as Americans when we act together, do anything. This is the United States of America. We have acted together, we have never, never been unable to overcome whatever the problem was. If you agree with me, go to Joe 30330 and help me in this fight," he added.

People quickly figured out that Biden probably meant to ask people to text "JOIN" to the number of 30330, as outlined in his Twitter bio, but it didn't stop the Internet from pouncing on Biden's mistake. 

Rival candidate Mayor Pete Buttigieg's campaign quickly swooped in, buying the domain name to "joe30330.com" and making it re-direct to their own campaign website, according to FiveThirtyEight's Geoffrey Skelley.
