What Went Down On Night Two Of The First Democratic Debates

Agreed that Harris’ delivery was very strong there. And she’s doing basically what I predicted in the beginning of the evening — making the debate about the individuals on the stage. Not that this exchange is not substantive — it is — but not at the same level of policy detail as yesterday.

Few candidates are as good at connecting the personal and the political as Harris was right there.

Harris is turning this discussion into an attack on Biden not just for his recent comments, but also for his past opposition to busing. And she makes it personal. This is tough for Biden to respond to.
