Kamala Harris's Candid Memoir

  • πŸ’‘ Kamala Harris's new memoir, "107 Days," is generating buzz for its unexpectedly candid revelations about key political figures.
  • 🎯 The book details her experiences as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, offering an unfiltered look at her time in the campaign.

Revelations About Joe Biden

  • πŸ”‘ Harris concluded that Joe Biden's decision to seek a second term was "reckless," driven by ego despite public concerns about his age.
  • πŸ’¬ She recounts a call from Biden right before a debate with Donald Trump, where he expressed concern about her "badmouthing" him, suggesting Biden was more focused on his own image than her campaign success.

Insights on VP Selection

  • πŸ“Œ Harris reveals she considered Pete Buttigieg for Vice President but ultimately decided against it, believing America wasn't ready for a Black woman presidential nominee and a gay man VP.
  • πŸ“ She also discussed Josh Shapiro, perceiving him as too self-interested and potentially problematic as a running mate.

Interactions with Political Rivals

  • ⚑ The memoir highlights her strained relationship with Gavin Newsom, who reportedly ignored her call for support after Biden withdrew from the race.
  • 🎭 These candid accounts of colleagues and rivals suggest Harris is "airing dirty laundry," prompting questions about her motivations.

Harris's Future Political Strategy

  • πŸš€ One theory suggests Harris is done with politics and simply wants to express her true opinions without restraint.
  • πŸ“ˆ Alternatively, this memoir could be a strategic move to position herself for a 2028 presidential run as a more authentic, "freewheeling" candidate, shedding her previous "vanilla" image.
  • πŸ’¬ Political strategist David Axelrod commented that if there's a political strategy, "it's a bad one."
