Former Vice President Kamala Harris announced on Thursday she’ll soon be releasing a book about her historically-short campaign for the presidency in 2024.
Harris’s campaign got off to an unorthodox start in the summer of 2024. Following a disappointing showing in his debate against Donald Trump that left many questioning his mental acuity, former President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the race in mid-July. Immediately after, Harris picked up the mantle for the Democratic Party with just over 100 days until Election Day.
Harris announced the book — titled 107 Days — with a video posted to social media:
Just over a year ago, I launched my campaign for President of the United States. A hundred and seven days traveling the country, fighting for our future — the shortest presidential campaign in modern history. It was intense, high-stakes, and deeply personal for me and for so many of you.
Since leaving office, I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on those days, talking with my team, my family, my friends, and pulling my thoughts together — in essence, writing a journal that is this book 107 Days. With candor and reflection, I’ve written a behind the scenes account of that journey. I believe there’s value in sharing what I saw, what I learned, and what I know it will take to move forward.
In writing this book, one truth kept coming back to me: sometimes the fight takes a while. But I remain full of hope, and I remain clear-eyed. I will never stop fighting to make our country reflect the very best of its ideals, always on behalf of the people. So thank you for being in this fight with me. I am forever grateful, and I cannot wait for you to read this, and I’ll see you out there. Take care.
