If you agree with Mayor Pete, go to Joe3030.

Front-running Joe Biden did himself no favors with his rough performance in Wednesday night’s Democratic primary debate — but he sure helped out one of his rivals for the nomination.

An apparent supporter of South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg capitalized on the former vice president’s flubbed call for campaign donations, grabbing an online domain name playing off of Biden’s garbled message and directing it to Buttigieg’s website.

“If you agree with me, go to Joe 30330 and help me in this fight,” said Biden in his closing statement — presumably meaning to tell donors to “text JOE to 30330,” as clarified on his campaign’s Twitter account.



By early Thursday, Joe3030.com redirected to the campaign website for Buttigieg, who wasn’t even on stage Wednesday night, having debated the night before.

A spokesman for Team Buttigieg said the campaign wasn’t behind the guerrilla advertising, meaning the purchase was likely the work of a grassroots supporter.

Joe30330.com, meanwhile, now directs to a site for mock campaign “Josh for America.”

“Hey! If Joe Biden sent you here, we just want to make something clear: we’re not affiliated with any presidential campaign,” reads a disclaimer on the site. “We’re just having some good fun (maybe a little bit at the expense of Joe).”

Also reaping the rewards of Biden’s scatterbrained performance was New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, whom Biden referred to as “the future president” in another tongue-tied slip-up.

“Well, first of all, I’m grateful that he endorsed my presidency already,” cracked Booker in the moment.

Booker’s campaign site is now taking pre-orders for vinyl stickers featuring Biden’s “endorsement.”

“Thanks, @JoeBiden,” tweeted Booker in showing off the stickers.
