Think Twice, Original Sin With Jake Tapper and Alex ThompsonThink Twice, Original Sin With Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson

In June 2024, CNN anchor Jake Tapper co-moderated a presidential debate between President Joe Biden (D) and former president Donald Trump (R). Biden's poor performance led him to withdraw from the race the following month. In their book Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, Tapper and co-author Alex Thompson examined Biden's mental acuity, his staff's response to it, and how his decision to seek a second term shaped the 2024 presidential election. Tapper and Thompson discuss these matters with Open to Debate host John Donvan and chief content officer Lia Matthow.
