Overview

  • Kamala Harris opened a multi-city tour at New York’s Town Hall to promote 107 Days, her account of the 107-day 2024 campaign after Joe Biden exited.
  • Pro-Palestinian demonstrators repeatedly interrupted the event, the crowd jeered, and security escorted at least three protesters out.
  • A widely shared clip shows Harris telling an interrupter, “I’m not president right now, there’s nothing I can do,” drawing loud applause.
  • She said she pressed humanitarian concerns about Gaza in private White House meetings as vice president, stressing she could not make the decisions.
  • She accused President Donald Trump of giving Benjamin Netanyahu a “blank check,” as some Democrats and media figures criticized her book and tour as unhelpful.
