Harris ‘concerned’ she did not ask Biden to quit race
Senator Kamala Harris of California expressed concerns today about not asking former Vice President Joe Biden to quit the Presidential race following his controversial comments about segregationist senators.
The incident took place during the Democratic presidential debate in Miami last night, where Harris criticized Biden for his remarks on working with segregationist senators in the past and his stance on busing to desegregate schools.
In a statement released by Harris’ campaign manager this morning, Harris is quoted as saying, “I deeply respect Vice President Biden, but I was concerned that I did not ask him to drop out of the race after his comments. The issues we face as a country are serious, and we need to have candidates who can address them thoughtfully and with sensitivity.”
Biden’s team has not responded to Harris’ statement yet, but sources close to the campaign suggest that they view this as a political move by Harris to gain more support and attention in the crowded Democratic field.
The Democratic National Committee has not issued a statement on the matter, stating that it’s up to each candidate to decide on their campaign strategies and interactions with other contenders.
The incident has sparked a debate within the Democratic Party, with some supporting Harris for speaking out and others criticizing her for not addressing the issue directly during the debate.
The upcoming primaries will likely shed more light on how this incident will impact the dynamics of the Democratic race moving forward.
