Tapper and Thompson discuss book on Biden's signs of decline

Season 2025 Episode 142 | 9m 54s

The presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump altered the state of the race, upended the Democratic presidential ticket and changed the course of political history. It also revealed a version of Biden that Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson argue those closest to him tried to conceal from the world. Geoff Bennett spoke with Tapper and Thompson about their new book, “Original Sin.”
