Biden called busing a ‘bankrupt policy’ in 1977

Biden told reporters in 1977 that busing wasn't a "North versus South" issue, but rather a "rural versus urban" issue. Biden said that most of the busing was taking place in rural areas.

During a news conference on June 28, 1977, then-Sen. Joe Biden, explaining his views on busing, said it was harmful to the civil rights movement in America.

“I happen to think the one way to ensure that you set the civil rights movement further back is to continue to push busing because it’s a bankrupt policy,” Biden said at the time, as heard and seen in an ABC News video.
