CHICAGO (CBS) -- One day after the Democratic debates, former Vice President Joe Biden is in Chicago.

He defended his record on desegregated school busing after being blasted by California Senator Kamala Harris.

A growing list of Democratic candidates are scheduled to attend the convention over the next few days, including senators Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand and Senator Bernie Sanders, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Beto O'Rourke.
