please check my "twitters" declaration what's wrong with it?

twitters = re.search(r'(@[\w\d]+)$', string, re.MULTILINE)

emails.py 
import re

string = '''Love, Kenneth, kenneth+challenge@teamtreehouse.com, 555-555-5555, @kennethlove
Chalkley, Andrew, andrew@teamtreehouse.co.uk, 555-555-5556, @chalkers
McFarland, Dave, dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com, 555-555-5557, @davemcfarland
Kesten, Joy, joy@teamtreehouse.com, 555-555-5558, @joykesten'''

contacts = re.search(r'(?P<email>[-\w\d+.]+@[-\w\d+.]+),\s(?P<phone>\(?\d{3}\)?-?\s?\d{3}-\d{4})', string)
twitters = re.search(r'\s+(@[\w\d]+)$', string, re.MULTILINE)

Try removing the \s+ part from the regex (see code below). I don't think twitter handles string before the '@' symbol so you don't really need it. eg. @realDonaldTrump.

twitters = re.search(r'(@[\w\d]+)$', string, re.MULTILINE)
