In the first Democratic primary debates last month, Harris hit Biden over comments about work with segregationist senators as well as his 1970s stance on mandatory busing of black students into majority-white schools. Biden has since apologized for the comments on the segregationist senators.
Biden has long been the front-runner in the crowded Democratic field, but he saw his lead slip in most polling following the first debate. He’s among 20 contenders who will take the debate stage later this month.
