... according to CNN Fact Check. Read the whole article.

Joe's occasional misspeakings have been nothing like Harris' unforced errors here.

Again, apples and oranges.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Kamala was directing her fire at Trump here, not at any of our Democrats bigtree Aug 2019 #7
Harris misfired and made false claims twice in a month. The OP is a quote from CNN's front page. Princetonian Aug 2019 #8
this has nothing to do with our primary bigtree Aug 2019 #9
