00:00Kamala Harris says Biden didn't want to debate. Something was a little off.

00:05Former President Joe Biden did not want to debate President Donald Trump,

00:09former Vice President Kamala Harris revealed.

00:12He called me from debate camp. The president did. Biden did.

00:16And I could tell something was a little off, Harris said to Diary of a CEO podcast host

00:22Stephen Bartlett Thursday per Fox News. And I was concerned about, I don't think he wanted to

00:27debate. That's my point. He didn't want that debate. The debate Harris was referring to was

00:32the disastrous showing in June 2024. Biden's dismal performance ultimately led to him ending

00:38his re-election campaign the next month. Bartlett remarked, it was so apparently clear something

00:44was not okay with Biden in 2020. He then asked Harris why the Democratic side of politics was

00:51pretending everything was okay. You must have known, Bartlett said. Harris suggested Biden

00:57did not want to participate in the debate. You know, it's like any competition you go

01:02in. Whether it's your bidding for something or it's sports, you've got to want it, she

01:07said. If you don't want to compete, it will absolutely have an impact on your performance.

01:12And I don't think he, I'm pretty sure he did not want to debate. When asked how she knew

01:17Biden didn't want to debate, Harris said they had discussed it and that he was talked into

01:22it. She noted that mistakes happen in every debate, but admitted Biden's performance was

01:28worse than expected. In her memoir, 107 days, Harris wrote, she was surprised by his response

01:35about the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal, where 13 U.S. service members died, saying he missed

01:41an easy question by failing to mention them. She also criticized his claim of being the only

01:46president this century or this decade without troops dying abroad.
