The two have battled over a 2005 bill that made it more difficult for individuals to file for bankruptcy. Biden backed the legislation, while Warren, then a Harvard professor who was advising the National Bankruptcy Review Commission, testified against the bill, which ultimately passed.
"Sen. Biden was on one side of that fight and I was on the other," Warren said. "And you better believe I didn't hold back."
Warren said she and Biden are still on opposite sides when it comes to financial reform.
Biden and Warren met at the vice president's residence in August, where they discussed "a whole range of policy issues," Warren told Tapper.
"How we're going to build America's middle class, about how we're going to create opportunities for working families, how we're going to create opportunities for poor families," Warren said. "Both of us see this as a principal role of government. It's about the investments we need to make and the investments we need to make together. And look, I'll be straight on, we also talked about the need for a cop on the beat on Wall Street. We talked about support for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. And it was a good conversation."
