The Harris campaign tweeted a photo of the senator during the debate showing a young Harris in California with a backpack and are capitalizing on the moment by quickly putting that photo on a t-shirt as part of her campaign merchandise.

Harris, the only African-American on the stage last night, continued pressing Biden, pointing out that even though Biden thought the federal government shouldn’t have been involved in busing, states continued to fail at integrating public schools.

“There are moments in history when states fail to preserve the civil rights of all people,” she said, saying that was a moment the federal government needed to step in.

Earlier this month, Biden called for more “civility” in politics during a fundraiser in New York City, and boasted his work with the Eastland saying he “never called me ‘boy,’ he always called me ‘son,’” and added, “We got things done. We didn’t agree on much of anything. We got things done. We got it finished. But today you look at the other side and you’re the enemy. Not the opposition, the enemy. We don’t talk to each other anymore.”

This morning, Harris said “there is no question we have got to find common ground” on Capitol Hill, saying bipartisanship has been one of her main focuses since being elected to the Senate,” but found the characterization of the late senators to be “misplaced.”

“It was hurtful to me to hear that we would be nostalgic about people who if they had their way, I would not serve in the United States Senate,” Harris said.

Harris also clarified a moment surrounding a question on health care, when she and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders were the only candidates to raise their hand when asked: “Who here would abolish their private health insurance in favor of a government-run plan?”

Harris this morning saying she would not do that, explaining that she misinterpreted the question. She said she understood the question to be, “Would you give up your private insurance for that option? And I said, Yes.”

“I am a proponent of Medicare for all, private insurance will exist for supplemental coverage,” Harris said on MSNBC.

A Harris aide tells ABC News that she had the best fundraising day on Thursday of her entire campaign, with the exception of the day after her launch and the actual launch day in January.
