During the first round of Democratic primary debates in June 2019, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) attacked now-presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden over his opposition to federally mandated busing in the 1970s. Soon after the attack rocketed Harris to the national spotlight, she admitted she did not support such a policy.

Her refusal to apologize for the fraudulent attack on Biden may cost her a chance to be his vice-presidential candidate. Biden has repeatedly said he would select a woman of color as his vice-presidential candidate, leading many to believe Harris would be a prime choice, despite her history of arresting African-Americans for low-level drug offenses in California.
