“It’s a candid and personal account of my journey: the shortest presidential campaign in modern history.”
Kamala Harris says he’s not running for California governor
Former Vice President Kamala Harris announced he would not run for California governor, but did not rule out another bid for the presidency.
A day after Kamala Harris ran for governor of California, the former US vice president announced that her upcoming book would provide a “behind the scenes” of her 2024 presidential election.
The book’s title, “107 Days,” reflects the length of her bid for the oval office, from the time former President Joe Biden withdraws from the race until Donald Trump wins the following November.
“Since I left the office, I have spent a lot of time reflecting on the time, talking to my team, family and friends, summarizing my thoughts. Essentially, I’ve written this book, 107 Days, in Candor and Reflection in a journal,” she said in a video posted to Instagram. “I wrote a behind-the-scenes explanation of that journey.”
Jonathan Karp, CEO of publisher Simon & Schuster, was called Harris “A Singular American Leader” in a news release about Harris’ book published by Simon & Schuster.
Karp described the book as fascinating. “107 days captures the drama of running for the president, more for the president than I’ve read. This is one of the best works of Simon & Schuster in political non-fiction.”
“It’s the contribution of witnesses to history and extraordinary stories,” he said.
He said the book is on the shelf for September 23rd.
In a social media post, Harris described the book as “not a summary of our race.”
“Writing 107 days felt like living a campaign in reverse, rewinding each moment and experiencing it again.
Instead, “It’s a candid and personal account of my journey, the shortest presidential campaign in modern history.”
Looking ahead, the former vice president said in the video, “We will never stop our country from fighting on behalf of our people to reflect that ideal in the best.”
“As I write this book, one truth is coming back to me. Sometimes the fight takes a while, but I remain hopeful and I keep awake,” Harris said.
