Former US Vice-President and Democratic White House front-runner Joe Biden has been slammed by Senator Kamala Harris, who is of Indian and Jamaican descent, for his record on race in a televised debate and challenged on his previous comments about segregationists.
The debate on Thursday night came a day after the first batch of the 10 presidential hopefuls squared off in an event hosted by television network NBC in Miami, as the party decided to divide the field of 20 candidates into two groups of 10.
The debate – the second over two days to accommodate the huge field of candidates vying for the Democratic nomination – saw Biden face off against Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, the US media reported.
