Kamala Harris

Awful, awful, in the best way, trying to get me prepared.

And there were a lot of people like Philippe.

There were a lot of people who are, you know, I'm very fortunate.

I have people who have been with me for years and years and years through these various offices.

And, you know, even if they go on to different positions, they always come back when needed.

And so debate camp was this intense, basically a preparation process where you, you know, your team will basically try to, they'll break you and then build you back up.

So the day of the debate was after that intense period of preparation.

And then that morning I had a meeting with my team.

I thought it was going to be more prep, but they actually were wonderful and just basically said to me, you're ready.

So, okay, then being a woman running for president and many women in various high-level positions get their hair and makeup done.

Back to your point about presentation.

And it can take hours.

Hair and makeup got done.

I'm in the hotel room with Doug, with my husband.

And the president calls.

And I was told that he wanted to call me so that I'd be ready.

And I was so sure it was to buck me up and go get him.

And he did say that for the first beat.

And then he went on to talk about a group of people in Pennsylvania who were saying bad things about me.

because they heard I was saying bad things about him.
