Overview
- Kamala Harris released '107 Days,' arguing her 2024 defeat stemmed largely from Biden’s advisers pushing a fatigued president to stay and from a White House that sidelined her.
- In the book she says Biden’s staff undermined her and amplified negative rumors, and she recounts a call from Biden minutes before her debate with Donald Trump complaining about donor chatter.
- On MSNBC, Harris acknowledged she "had a certain responsibility" regarding Biden’s decision to run again but says urging him to step aside then felt self-serving.
- She writes that she was too cautious in passing over Pete Buttigieg as her running mate, while Buttigieg says he was surprised by that rationale and urges more faith in voters.
- Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and strategist Michael Hardaway publicly challenge her version as incomplete or divisive, and Harris leaves a 2028 bid unresolved.
