Beto's campaign started organizing canvasses almost two months ago all over the country, with events daily.
Much will change after the debates.

...said it on NPR. At the time all he mentioned was Buttigieg. And that's what I was going by.
But now that I looked for and found the full article- --what he wrote was a little different. He said in the written record that Obama also mentioned Harris and Bennett.
