MIAMI (AP) Democratic divisions over race, age and ideology burst into public view in Thursday nights presidential debate, punctuated by a heated exchange between former Vice President Joe Biden and California Sen. Kamala Harris.
It was one of several moments that left the 76-year-old Biden, who entered the night as his partys early front-runner, on the defensive as he works to convince voters hes still in touch with the modern Democratic Party and best-positioned to deny President Donald Trump a second term.
I do not believe you are a racist, Harris said to Biden before criticizing his record of working with Democratic segregationist senators on non-race issues as hurtful.
