Kamala Harris Memoir 107 Days Sells 350K Copies First Week

Kamala Harris's memoir "107 Days," detailing her 2024 presidential campaign, has achieved significant commercial success, selling 350,000 copies across all formats in its first week and prompting a fifth printing to bring total copies to 500,000. This sales performance ranks as the fourth-best memoir debut since 2023 and positions the book on track to be the best-selling memoir of 2025, surpassing other political memoirs like Hillary Clinton's 2017 release. The book's popularity was bolstered by a national media tour including high-profile interviews and candid revelations, such as Harris's criticism of President Joe Biden's decision to run for reelection, which she described as "recklessness." Publisher Simon & Schuster highlighted Harris as a galvanizing cultural figure, comparing her memoir's debut favorably to those of celebrities like Prince Harry, Taylor Swift, and Britney Spears. While some question whether sales are primarily driven by enthusiastic Harris supporters, the memoir has nonetheless captured broad attention. Harris's unprecedented role as the first female vice president and her late entry into the 2024 race following Biden's withdrawal are key themes of the book.
