And she certainly hasn’t offered Biden her endorsement.

“I’m right here!” Harris said, throwing up her arms before breaking out in laughter along with the rest of the debate audience.

Biden’s presidential bid has been endorsed by former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun (D-Ill.), the first black woman to be elected to the U.S. Senate.

Harris became the second black woman elected to the Senate in 2016, a fact that Biden seemingly overlooked on Wednesday as he touted his support from black voters. 

Harris is of mixed ancestry, the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and from India.

Harris was quick to point out the oversight on Twitter.

“Proud to be the second Black woman elected to the U.S. Senate. #DemDebate” the senator tweeted.
