Showing Original Post only (View all)Joe Biden throws own campaign into turmoil after Harris attacks his record on race [View all]
Analysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN
Updated 10:48 AM ET, Fri June 28, 2019
Washington (CNN)Joe Biden stumbled into a potential campaign-defining moment Thursday that pitched his effort to win the Democratic nomination onto suddenly shaky ground.
Reeling from an attack by a much younger rival, Kamala Harris, the 76-year-old delivered an unfortunate soundbite at the Democratic debate that threatens to symbolize his biggest political liability.
"My time is up," he said, meaning to cut short one of his own answers but instead drawing attention to a question that haunts his campaign: Has his generation's time come and gone?
Harris' assault was breathtaking, appeared planned ahead of time and exposed a willingness to attack she had not previously shown in a campaign that started strong but has slumbered ever since.

OP
Whether his time is up has nothing to do with an exchange w/another candidate in one debate.
