Overview

• Kamala Harris writes that allowing Joe Biden to seek a second term was an act of recklessness driven by ego rather than the national interest.
• She says she was the least well‑placed to press him to withdraw because it would have looked opportunistic or like a betrayal.
• Her account describes Biden as growing tired yet still able to serve, a state she links to verbal stumbles and falls.
• She alleges the White House often failed to defend her, says aides stoked negative rumors, recounts a reprimand over a pre‑cleared Gaza speech, and notes Biden barely mentioned her in his July 24 address on his withdrawal.
• The Atlantic published the excerpts, and Simon & Schuster will release ‘107 Days’ on September 23, framing her 107‑day campaign after Biden’s July 21 exit and subsequent loss to Donald Trump; coverage also notes Biden’s May disclosure of aggressive prostate cancer.
