CNN's Anderson Cooper challenges Kamala Harris on Biden's debate performance

OTHERS AROUND THE COUNTRY SOME WITHIN YOUR OWN PARTY ARE WONDERING IF PRESIDENT BIDEN SHOULD EVEN STEP ASIDE. ALL RIGHT. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT LISTEN FIRST OF ALL, WHAT WE SAW TONIGHT IS THE PRESIDENT MAKING A VERY CLEAR CONTRAST WITH DONALD TRUMP ON ALL OF THE ISSUES THAT MATTER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? >> YES. THERE WAS A SLOW START, BUT IT WAS A STRONG FINISH. AND WHAT BECAME VERY CLEAR THROUGH THE COURTS COURSE OF THE NIGHT IS THAT JOE BIDEN IS FIGHTING ON BEHALF OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ON SUBSTANCE ON POLICY ON PERFORMANCE. JOE BIDEN IS EXTRAORDINARILY STRONG, AND THAT'S POLICY AND PERFORMANCE. AND I MEAN, HERE'S THE PRESIDENT'S PERFORMANCE TONIGHT CLEARLY WAS DISAPPOINTING. FOR HIS SUPPORTERS. CNN IS REPORTING DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS WATCHING THE DEBATE WE'RE WORRIED, WORRIED ABOUT THE PRESIDENT'S PERFORMANCE. ONE SAID IT WAS A DISASTER AND OTHER CALLED IT A TRAIN WRECK. THOSE ARE DEMOCRATS ESPECIALLY WORD THAT BIDEN DID NOT PUNCH BACK ON TRUMP'S LIES LISTEN, PEOPLE CAN DEBATE ON STYLE POINTS, BUT ULTIMATELY, THIS ELECTION AND WHO IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS TO BE ABOUT SUBSTANCE. >> AND THE CONTRAST IS CLEARED. LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE COURSE OF THE DEBATE. DONALD TRUMP LIED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS HE IS WANT TO DO, HE WOULD NOT DISAVOW WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6. HE WOULD NOT GIVE A CLEAR ANSWER ON WHETHER HE WOULD STAND BY THE ELECTION RESULTS THIS NOVEMBER, HE WENT BACK AND FORTH ABOUT WHERE HE STANDS ON ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL ISSUES OF FREEDOM IN AMERICA, WHICH IS THE RIGHT OF A WOMEN TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR OWN BODY. HE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY AMBIGUOUS AT ALL OVER THE PLACE ABOUT WHERE HE STANDS ON THAT ISSUE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE HAD SELECTED THREE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT WITH THE INTENTION THAT THEY WOULD UNDO THE PROTECTIONS OF ROE V. WADE. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID. AND JUST THREE YEARS AGO WE COMMEMORATED THE TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF DOBBS WERE IN WOMEN ACROSS OUR COUNTRY HAVE BEEN DENIED EMERGENCY HEALTH CARE TRUE? BUT THE PRESIDENT NOT ABLE TO PUT MAKE THAT CASE TO DONALD TRUMP ON THE STAGE TONIGHT. I MEAN, YOU DEBATED AGAINST THEN VICE PRESIDENT TRUMP OR EXCUSE ME, IF VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN FOUR YEARS AGO AND HE WAS A VERY DIFFERENT PERSON ON THE STAGE FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN YOU DEBATED HIM, YOU MUST I MEAN, THAT THAT'S CERTAINLY TRUE, IS IT NOT ANDERSON THE POINT HAS TO BE PERFORMANCE IN TERMS OF WHAT A PRESIDENT DOES. >> A PRESIDENT ERECTION AGAINST THE CAPITAL BUT I GOT THE POINT THAT YOU'RE MAKING ABOUT ONE-AND-A-HALF HOUR DEBATE TONIGHT? I'M TALKING ABOUT THREE-AND-A-HALF YEARS OF PERFORMANCE IN WORK THAT HAS BEEN HISTORIC WHAT WE SAW NIGHT. >> IS THAT THE OTHER GUY ON THE DEBATE? >> THE PERSON THAT YOU SAW IN THE DEBATE STAGE THAT HAS FOR THE LAST THREE-AND-A-HALF YEARS UP UNTIL TODAY PERFORMED IN A WAY THAT HAS BEEN ABOUT WHETHER IT BE IN THE OVAL OFFICE NEGOTIATING BIPARTISAN DEALS SO THAT WE HAVE AN INFRASTRUCTURE, A REAL INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN WHERE WE'RE PUTTING TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON THE STREETS OF AMERICA TO UPGRADE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. >> WHETHER IT BE THE PERSON I SEE IN THE OVAL OFFICE WHO IS MEETING WITH HEADS OF THE MILITARY AND THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY. AND IN THE SITUATION ROOM ENSURING THE SAFETY OF AMERICA, THE PERSON I SEE IN JOE BIDEN ON THE WORLD STAGE CONVENING WORLD LEADERS WHO OFTEN ASK FOR HIS ADVICE MOST RECENTLY, JUST BRING THE G7 CONFERENCE. SO I'M NOT GOING TO SPEND ALL NIGHT WITH YOU TALKING ABOUT THE LAST 90 MINUTES
