In reply to the discussion: Per Chris Matthews: Biden's team says Harris is doing "exactly what Trump wants." [View all]pnwmom
(108,955 posts)81. Sanders was wrong. Biden's Sr. Advisor tweeted out those words -- that Harris
was doing "exactly what Trump wants." But the advisor mistakenly attributed the disagreement to Biden's working on the Voting Rights act with the segregationists, instead of on the anti-busing bill.
