Harris recalled being 'angered' by Biden's phone call before her debate with Trump.

When Bartlett asked Harris to give context on a moment when Biden "disappointed and angered" her, the ex-VP quickly recalled a stunning phone conversation they had moments before her debate against then-Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Before answering, Harris noted how she went back and forth on whether or not to include the tense moment in her post-election memoir, 107 Days.

She said: "I thought about this. Was I going to write about it or not? And I decided in writing this book, I was going to just be honest, and these are the facts, and the reader can take what they want from it."

Harris claimed Biden used the call to talk about people who were badmouthing him.

Harris continued: "On the day of the debate, my debate with Trump, And you know, so going into a presidential debate is an incredibly intense and intensive project, including what has historically happened that we even called debate camp.

"Can you imagine? And it's no camp at all. It's going into where you basically are sequestered for a period of time immediately before the debate."

The 61-year-old was interrupted by Bartlett, who passed her a photo taken from "debate camp" of one of her campaign team members dressed as Trump for a mock debate.

She noted: "He would do the makeup, the orange makeup, the long red tie. He was just awful. Awful. Awful in the best way in trying to get me prepared."

"And when I hung up the phone, I was just... it was unbelievable."
