Kamala Harris Breaks out

The California senator dominated, ripping into Joe Biden on race and delivering some of the most memorable moments of the night.

MIAMI — For the first half of Thursday’s presidential debate, Joe Biden looked as if he would somehow be able to stand at center stage yet not be the center of the bullseye of other candidates’ attacks.

California Sen. Kamala Harris changed that, taking Biden to task for his opposition to busing and his working relationships decades ago as a U.S. senator.

The testy exchange, during which both raised their voices, highlighted a racial as well as a generational divide between the two candidates and solidified Harris as the buzziest candidate onstage. Earlier, she was the voice of reason when she quieted squabbling colleagues.

“Guys, you know what? America does not want to witness a food fight,” Harris said. “They wanna know how we’re gonna put food on their table.”

The debate hall erupted in applause.

referring to the first wave of bussing...just wow. Biden's head literally whipped around, looking at her. You could feel the atmosphere change.

She had a breakout debate tonight. I'm so proud of her!
