Joe Biden's "Build Back Better" campaign focused on systemic issues such as cash bail reform, marijuana decriminalization, and student debt. His recurring "Soul of America" slogan is interpreted by some as a 1970s-style appeal to Black cultural identity. While the rhetoric was designed to instill confidence, skeptics argue that these promises often serve as "spells" that leave voters "holding the bag" once the election concludes.
During a Democratic primary debate, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard challenged Senator Kamala Harris on her record as California's Attorney General, citing 1,500 marijuana convictions and the withholding of DNA evidence in the Kevin Cooper death row case. Local news fact-checks are scrutinized for appearing to defend Harris. The hosts also compare Harris's record to Joe Biden's involvement in the 1994 Crime Bill.
