Former Vice President Kamala Harris’ highly anticipated memoir, “107 Days,” has hit shelves, immediately igniting political debate with its candid revelations about her brief presidential campaign and her relationship with the Biden administration. Released on Tuesday, the book offers an unprecedented look into the internal dynamics of her time as Vice President and her unexpected sprint for the presidency after Joe Biden’s withdrawal.

Among the most striking disclosures are Harris’s accounts of perceived disloyalty within the Biden camp. She details instances where President Biden, his family, and senior staff questioned her allegiance, despite her own frustrations over a lack of defense from the West Wing against external criticism. A particularly tense moment involved First Lady Jill Biden reportedly questioning Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff’s loyalty during a critical period, and President Biden himself calling Harris to inquire if she was undermining him to “powerbrokers” just before a debate.

The memoir also delves into the contentious issue of Biden’s decision not to seek a second term. While Harris defends his mental acuity, she suggests his staff mishandled his fatigue. She admits to feeling “reckless” for not advising Biden to drop out after his debate struggles, stating, “It should have been more than a personal decision.”

In a surprising revelation, Harris names Pete Buttigieg, her former 2020 rival, as her first choice for running mate, praising his communication skills. She explains her reservations about a ticket featuring a Black woman married to a Jewish man alongside an openly gay man, ultimately leading to the selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Harris is notably critical of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, whom she portrays as overly ambitious for the No. 2 spot.

Beyond the political insights, “107 Days” sees Harris attempting to reintroduce her personal story, sharing candid struggles and the toll her campaign took on her marriage. The book, peppered with familiar stump speech lines and explanations of her background, also touches on her experiences with foreign leaders and key policy issues. As Harris embarks on a cross-country and international book tour, her future political trajectory remains an open question, though she hints at seeking answers outside of Washington.
