Democratic Debate: Kamala Harris Blasts Joe Biden Over Busing Stance | NBC New York

Sen. Kamala Harris of California blasts former Vice President Joe Biden for his previously held opinions on busing in schools.

Debate night No. 2 marks the first time top-tier presidential candidates will confront one another in person over who is best fit to lead the Democratic effort to oust President Donald Trump in 2020.

The sheer star power of the showdown Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern amps up the pressure on candidates to stand out, pile on, fend off attacks or just survive. It's Joe Biden's night to show he commands the field. But it's Bernie Sanders' chance to show he's the one who understands today's Democratic Party. Pete Buttigieg could try to sound like a leader on the national stage, and Kamala Harris may aim to make a more personal impression.

For all 10 candidates on stage in Miami, the forum is a chance to make Americans picture them as formidable foes to Trump over two hours of lightning-round questions.

Here's what to watch on the second night of the first presidential debates, airing on NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo and steaming on this website:

If this issue WERE truly important tp Kamala, she would not have accepted Biden's VP nominee. Thank you.

They got 4 minutes to go at each other while Williamson and Yang were overall ignored and cut off.

[CarolinaGuy]

Let the media investigate all of these candidates like they did President Trump. They would all burst into flames under that magnifying glass.

Biden: "I'm sorry my time is up"
Me: "couldn't have said it better myself"

Definition of sell out. Being the VP of a racist man so he can pretend he is not racist by willing to be his token

[Theo-tkys]

My favorite was when he said he "didn't want his kids growing up in a racial jungle!"
