Trump, Biden have back-and-forth over racism

Biden and Trump are clashing on race relations, as the former vice president calls the current president "one of the most racist presidents we've had in modern history."

Biden said Trump "pours fuel on every racist fire" and noted that at his last debate the president wouldn't condemn white supremacy and told an extremist group to "stand down and stand by."

Trump portrayed himself as a champion of African-Americans. Repeating his standard line that no president has done more for Black Americans than anyone other than Abraham Lincoln, Trump accused Biden and former President Barack Obama of ignoring issues of racial justice.

"You've done nothing but the crime bill which put 10s of thousands of Black men in jail," Trump told Biden.

Biden said he's been trying to change drug sentencing laws that disproportionately harmed African-Americans and that the public knows his record.

Trump, touting criminal justice reform and opportunity zone bills he signed, said: "I am the least racist person in this room."
