Former Vice President Kamala Harris provides an introspective account of her 2024 presidential campaign in her forthcoming memoir, "107 Days," scheduled for release on September 23. The title reflects the duration of her expedited campaign following President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race.
In the book, Harris candidly discusses the challenges she faced, including internal tensions within the Democratic Party and the difficulties of succeeding Biden. She acknowledges the physical and verbal missteps that became more apparent as Biden aged, noting, "At 81, Joe got tired. That's when his age showed in physical and verbal stumbles."
Harris also reflects on her own missteps during the campaign, such as a damaging appearance on "The View" where she failed to articulate differences between her and Biden's policies. She admits, "I had no idea I’d just pulled the pin on a hand grenade," recognizing the impact of her response on her campaign.
The memoir has elicited strong reactions from former Biden aides. One former official stated, "Vice President Harris was simply not good at the job," criticizing her role in the administration.
Harris's "107 Days" offers a detailed narrative of her brief yet intense presidential campaign, providing insights into the internal dynamics of the Democratic Party and the personal challenges she encountered during the race.
