Harris Comms. Director: Biden ‘Seems to Stand by His Opposition to Busing’

‘However, he was in favor of the locally decided bussing which Kamala Harris as a young girl was part of’

EXCERPT:

ADAMS: "What she said in the debate is that she did believe that back in 1969 and 1970, when she was being bused to school, that federally mandated busing was essential, and frankly most school segregation and integration experts agree it was fundamentally important. Now, what she said and she articulated yesterday when she was in Indianola, in Iowa, is that now we’re in 2019, which is not 1969, thank goodness, so we need new tools now. I will say Vice President Biden seems to stand by his opposition to busing from back in 1969. I couldn’t really tell from his interview. It seemed like Chris was trying to pin him down. But that is a fundamental, you know, point of disagreement on his record that Senator Harris highlighted in the debate. And that still remains a point of disagreement. That’s what campaigns are about."
