Article snippet: Anita Dunn, Symone Sanders, and their team — filling in for the candidate himself, who did not visit the spin room — faced a scrum of journalists who fired questions about what many in the media perceived as a poor showing. Sanders, in particular, battled mightily to defend Biden’s past statements and positions on school busing, which came under withering attack from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), who said that she had been one of the young black Americans helped by desegregation efforts. Ms. Sanders said: Sanders later added, in Biden’s defense, that “the politics of busing were very complicated.” Journalists — many voicing left-wing criticisms — also asked Biden’s team to defend other points, such as his statement that the problem with gun violence was not NRA members, but gun manufacturers.
