Former US Vice President Kamala Harris announced Thursday that she will release a book in September titled “107 Days,” in which she will detail the “behind-the-scenes” story of her 2024 presidential campaign, which was conducted at a rapid pace and ultimately lost to Donald Trump.
“A little over a year ago, I launched my campaign to become president of the United States; 107 days traveling across the country, fighting for our future—the shortest presidential campaign in modern U.S. history,” Kamala Harris explains in a video on social media.
The book, published by Simon & Schuster, will be released on September 23 in the United States.
The first woman to become US vice president in 2021, she was propelled to the Democratic Party's nomination for the 2024 election after Joe Biden withdrew in July. The president, then 81, was forced to give up his hopes of re-election due to pressing concerns about his health.
Kamala Harris says she wrote her book “with sincerity and introspection” and promises “a behind-the-scenes account of this journey” through the campaign.
The former California senator had already announced on Wednesday that she would not be running for governor of the state, the most populous in the country, in 2026. But a new bid for the White House in 2028 cannot be ruled out, according to the US press.
In her video, she explains that a “truth” has dawned on her: “Sometimes the fight takes a while.” A statement that is likely to fuel the rumor mill about her political future.
