Roommates, Kamala Harris put pen to paper, and didn’t hold back after losing her presidential run against Donald Trump last year. She spared no feelings in her new book, ‘107 Days,’ which is set to be released on Tuesday (September 23). In it, she revealed the behind-the-scenes of taking over the White House race after Joe Biden backed out 15 weeks before Election Day. The book details a shaky relationship between the former president and Harris, while also noting her interactions with Trump. From Biden making a debate night “all about himself” to Trump’s private compliment, ‘107 Days’ is proving Harris is DONE biting her tongue!

1. Kamala Harris Reveals Her Reaction After Losing Presidential Bid
According to a review from the Associated Press, Harris kept it real and raw in ‘107 days.’ If you haven’t already peeped it, the book’s title is a reference to the hyperspeed campaign that Kamala Harris launched against Donald Trump after Biden dropped out of the race. While Kamala now has a reputation for being guarded, the book is anything but that! It goes into detail about her mistakes, frustrations and strange moments from the presidential bid.
In ‘107 Days,’ Harris admitted that when she found out she lost to Trump, she “could barely breathe.” As she gathered herself, one of her aides peeled “Madame President” off celebratory cupcakes before serving them to staffers. Harris kept asking, “My God, my God, what will happen to our country?” The next morning was no easier, she wrote.
“I was ashamed to realize I was in the denial and bargaining stages of grief, a very long way from acceptance,” Kamala Harris wrote.
AP writes that ‘107 Days’ is not a political ploy or heartfelt memoir. Instead, it’s all recent history that counts down to those moments above—Election Day. In the end, Kamala Harris doesn’t reveal any future plans, government or otherwise.
2. Tired Joe?? Harris Speaks On Biden’s Debate Against Trump
In her book, Kamala Harris says she had no concerns about Joe Biden’s ability to serve as president. “If I believed that, I would have said so,” she wrote.
“But at eighty-one, Joe got tired,” Harris wrote. “That’s when his age showed in physical and verbal stumbles.” She added that Biden’s inner circle “should have realized that any campaign was a bridge too far.” However, “it seemed that the worse things got, the more they pushed him.”
The situation really unraveled when Joe Biden and Donald Trump faced off with each other. “As soon as he walked onto the debate stage in Atlanta, I could see he wasn’t right,” Harris wrote in ‘107 Days.’ Still, Kamala claimed that Biden’s team remained in denial. After the disastrous debate, his team gave the former vice president talking points, saying, “JOE BIDEN WON.”
3. Joe Biden (And His Wife) Were Working Kamala’s Nerves In 2024
While VP Kamala Harris wrote warmly of her partnership with Joe Biden, there were frosty moments, too. As he faced calls to drop out of the race, he invited Kamala Harris for a Fourth of July celebration at the White House. At the celebration, First Lady Jill Biden pulled Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff aside.
“What’s going on?” Jill asked. “Are you supporting us?” Later, in private, Doug Emhoff went off. Per his wife, he allegedly said: “They have to ask if we’re loyal?”
Another difficult moment came after Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden as the candidate and was preparing for her own debate with Trump. Shortly before she took the stage, Biden called to say he heard from his brother that Harris had been badmouthing him. The alleged badmouthing had allegedly upset some power brokers in Philadelphia. Then he rambled about his own debate performances while Kamala Harris was “barely listening.”
“I just couldn’t understand why he would call me, right now, and make it all about himself,” the former VP wrote in her book.
4. Kamala Suggests Comment On ‘The View’ Also Cost Her The Election
That said, Harris didn’t excuse herself in her finger-pointing. She admitted to mistakes, too, including her damaging interview on the daytime talk show ‘The View.’ When one of the hosts asked Kamala what she would have done differently than Biden during the previous four years, Harris blanked on the talking points she had prepared. Instead, she replied, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”
“I had no idea I’d just pulled the pin on a hand grenade,” Harris wrote. Around the studio, “my staff were besides themselves” about how she had just given a “gift to the Trump campaign.”
Kamala admitted that she didn’t want to criticize Joe. Biden or litigate any of the areas where they disagreed. But she also didn’t understand how much her association with the president held back her candidacy. In fact, senior adviser David Plouffe later told Harris bluntly that “people hate Joe Biden.”
