Biden leans into racial debate with Dems
1 / 4Elections 2020Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden speaks during the National Urban League Conference, Thursday, July 25, 2019, in Indianapolis. PHILADELPHIA — Joe Biden no longer plans to turn the other cheek.
"He's going to forcefully defend his record and not let it get distorted," declared Cedric Richmond, a Louisiana congressman and national co-chairman of Biden's campaign. The comments echoed Biden's own from the night before in Detroit when he warned his competitors that he was"not going to be as polite" in the upcoming prime-time faceoff, where Biden will share the stage with both Booker and Harris.
In the past month, he has sought to move beyond those early Senate years, attempting to untangle himself from awkward comments lauding his collaboration with segregationist colleagues and his opposition to federally mandated busing. Instead, he has stressed key roles alongside Obama and married his own policy proposals to gains made during that administration.
"In the past he has had fumbles. We'll see if he can operate with discipline now," Sharpton said."He needs to be cautious." The day before, she released a statement condemning Booker's tenure as mayor of Newark, where, she said, he ran"a police department that was such a civil rights nightmare that the U.S. Department of Justice intervened." She also highlighted Booker's"zero-tolerance" policy for minor infractions and a stop-and-frisk policy that disproportionately hurt African Americans.
