Appearing on CNN, host Anderson Cooper asked Harris if she thought Biden needed to step aside.
“Yes, there was a slow start, but it was a strong finish,” she claimed. “And what became very clear through the course of the night is that Joe Biden is fighting on behalf of the American people on substance, on policy, on performance.”
Cooper immediately interrupted her and said: “I’m sorry on substance and policy and performance tonight. I mean, the president’s performance tonight clearly was disappointing for his supporters. CNN is reporting Democratic lawmakers watching the debate were worried, worried about the president’s performance. One said it was a disaster. Another called it a train wreck. Those are Democrats.”
