a senior campaign official telling cnn, quote, and then i'll let you guys hash it out. he isn't going to take hits from any of the candidates sitting down. he won't personally attack anyone, but he will be very clear about the contrast between he and other candidates in this race. discuss. >> and the reason i'm saying this is because joe biden, his commitment to civil rights and his commitment to issues that affect the black community have never been in question when he was asked to be the vice president of the united states for eight years under barack obama. it wasn't a problem then. it wasn't a problem with harris asking him to introduce her at the convention. it wasn't a problem for democrats asking her to go to states and now all of a sudden he's someone out of touch with what democrats want? i think that's the wrong tactic for the democrats. >> go ahead, angela. >> and i definitely appreciate you, tara, saying that. but the reality is we have been through a lot.
