Kamala Harris Memoir Details 2024 Loss, Party Rift

Former Vice President Kamala Harris made her first public appearance since her 2024 presidential defeat on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' where she discussed her forthcoming memoir, '107 Days,' and her decision not to run for California governor due to frustration with a 'broken' political system. Harris's book recounts her 107-day presidential campaign following President Biden’s withdrawal, as well as the emotional experience of certifying the 2024 election results on January 6, 2025. She expressed a desire to engage with Americans outside politics and stressed the need for collective leadership within the Democratic Party, declining to name a current party leader. Harris criticized both major parties for failing to counter policy shifts under President Trump and did not rule out future political involvement. Her remarks and memoir have sparked skepticism and speculation about her future ambitions. Publisher Simon & Schuster described the book as a dramatic account of a pivotal political moment.
