Democrats Reportedly Furious Over Kamala’s New Gossip-Filled Memoir

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is facing sharp criticism from within her own party following the release of her new memoir 107 Days.

According to Politico, several Democratic operatives and strategists view the book as divisive and ill-timed, coming less than a year after her defeat in the 2024 presidential election, as reported by The Independent Journal Review.

Michael Hardaway, a Democratic strategist and former senior adviser to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, told Politico that Harris missed an opportunity to unite her party.

“In an era where Democrats need all hands on deck in the fight to protect the country and the constitution from the lawlessness of the Trump administration, she had a real opportunity to be a critical voice in the resistance,” Hardaway said.

“This book seems to be unhelpful and divisive in a way that makes it hard for her to be the face of the party as we look to the future.”

Other Democrats echoed that frustration. An adviser to a potential 2028 presidential candidate described Harris’ memoir as a “gossip book that prioritizes the pettiness of her politics.”

The adviser added:

“It’s embarrassing for her, and for all Democrats, considering she was the leader of the party less than a year ago.”

During her book tour this week, Harris spoke about her regrets regarding the 2024 campaign. On ABC’s Good Morning America Tuesday, she said it was “reckless” not to have shared her concerns with former President Joe Biden about his decision to seek reelection.

In a separate interview on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, Harris was asked about a potential 2028 run for president. She responded, “That’s not my focus right now. That’s not my focus at all, it really isn’t.”

David Axelrod, former chief strategist for Barack Obama’s campaigns, told Politico that Harris’ rollout appeared muddled. “If this was intended as a campaign launch, I don’t think it got off the pad. If it was intended as a catharsis, only she can know if it was successful,” Axelrod said.

One former Biden and Harris campaign staffer warned that Harris risks being seen as a “sore loser” by voters, which could harm her future prospects.

Still, some Democrats have voiced support. Mike Nellis, a strategist who worked on Harris’ 2020 campaign, praised her for speaking honestly.

“I think if we had had more difficult conversations as a party over the last couple of years, we would’ve been in a much stronger position to win the election last year,” Nellis said.

Harris announced in July that she would not run in California’s gubernatorial race, fueling speculation about a possible 2028 presidential bid. However, polling has shown limited enthusiasm among California Democrats for another Harris campaign.

CNN’s Harry Enten noted Monday that Harris’ popularity among Democrats has declined since her loss to President Donald Trump in 2024. Trump, who secured 49.8 percent of the vote compared to Harris’ 48.3 percent, became the first Republican candidate in two decades to win the popular vote.

Harris’ office did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
