Kamala Harris Announces New Book Detailing 2024 Campaign and Rules Out 2026 California Run

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has announced that she will publish a new book titled ‘107 Days’ providing a behind-the-scenes look at her unsuccessful 2024 presidential campaign, which she describes as ‘the shortest presidential campaign in modern history.’ The book, set for release in September, will detail the challenges she faced after replacing Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee. Harris, who replaced the former president last July following his withdrawal from the race due to concerns about his physical and mental state, expressed her desire to share her experiences and lessons learned with the public.

At the same time, Harris has ruled out running for governor of California in 2026, stating that for now, her leadership in public service will not be in elected office. This decision has left the door open for a potential 2028 presidential bid, which could see her as a formidable contender in what is expected to be a crowded field of Democratic candidates. As Harris prepares to step back from elected office, she has expressed her intention to continue her public service in other capacities, focusing on supporting Democrats in future elections.

Political analysts and Democratic strategists have suggested that while Harris remains a strong candidate for the 2028 election, she may face challenges related to the political baggage from her 2024 campaign, including the loss of the White House and the Senate. Some within the Democratic Party believe that a new generation of leaders may be needed for the party to move forward and rebuild its political standing. Despite these challenges, Harris’s extensive fundraising network built during her 2024 campaign could provide her with a significant advantage if she decides to run again.
