<p>Vice President Kamala Harris struggled to defend President Joe Biden following his widely criticized debate performance on Thursday night against former President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>Appearing on CNN, host Anderson Cooper asked Harris if she thought Biden needed to step aside.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes, there was a slow start, but it was a strong finish,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cooper immediately interrupted her and said: &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry on substance and policy and performance tonight. I mean, the president&#8217;s performance tonight clearly was disappointing for his supporters. CNN is reporting Democratic lawmakers watching the debate were worried, worried about the president&#8217;s performance. One said it was a disaster. Another called it a train wreck. Those are Democrats.&#8221;</p>
<p>Harris refused to push back on Cooper again after the journalist noted that Biden failed to perform on the debate stage.</p>
<p>&#8220;I got the point that you&#8217;re making about a one-and-a-half-hour debate tonight,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I&#8217;m talking about three and a half years of performance in work that has been historic.&#8221;</p>
<p>When Cooper again pressured her on the debate, she lashed out: &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to spend all night with you talking about the last 90 minutes when I&#8217;ve been watching the last three and a half years of performance.&#8221;</p>
<p>She again admitted that Biden did not start well, which she said was &#8220;obvious to everyone&#8221;.</p>
<p>When asked if that is how Biden is every day, Harris refused to answer the question and instead claimed that &#8220;Joe Biden can make it happen.&#8221;</p>
