Kamala Harris Reportedly Lashes Out at Anderson Cooper After Biden Debate Grilling

A new book, "Original Sin," details former Vice President Kamala Harris's reported anger towards Anderson Cooper following a contentious interview about President Biden's debate performance against Donald Trump.

According to the book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, Harris expressed her frustration, feeling Cooper didn't treat her with due respect. This reaction followed Cooper's questioning of Biden's cognitive abilities after a widely criticized debate performance in June.

Despite advice from her staff to avoid interviews given Biden's performance, Harris appeared on CNN. Cooper referenced Democratic concerns about the debate, but Harris defended Biden, acknowledging a "slow start" but emphasizing a "strong" finish.

The book further reveals Biden's difficulties during debate preparation, including sleeping through a practice session at Camp David. His team reportedly limited his public appearances due to his struggles. Ultimately, Biden's condition contributed to his decision not to seek re-election. He later announced he had advanced prostate cancer.
