Campaign memoir by Harris, titled '107 Days,' unveils her candid discussion on her 2020 run against President Trump
In the political landscape of 2024, Kamala Harris embarked on a swift and ambitious journey to secure the White House. The title of her book, "107 Days," encapsulates the breathless pace of her campaign against Donald Trump.
Harris' initial choice for a running mate was a surprise to many. She had hoped to have Pete Buttigieg, now Biden's transportation secretary, by her side. However, concerns about the potential 'risk' of choosing a gay candidate, as she was already asking voters to accept a Black woman as president, led her to reconsider.
Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race paved the way for Harris to launch her campaign. His endorsement followed shortly after her announcement. The former vice president invited Harris to join him for a Fourth of July celebration at the White House, a gesture that hinted at his support.
As the campaign progressed, Harris found herself in an unusual conversation with Trump. Despite his political rivalry, she was left amazed by Trump's ability to turn on the charm during their encounter.
Harris' campaign team was put together by her brother-in-law, Tony West. He had prepared a plan, the 'Red File,' in case something happened to Biden. However, the campaign faced challenges, with Harris admitting a damaging appearance on 'The View' talk show where she blanked on prepared talking points.
Harris ultimately chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. While she was disappointed with Walz's debate performance against JD Vance, she remained committed to their campaign.
As the election approached, Harris' concerns about the campaign's feasibility grew. She believed that Biden's inner circle should have realized that the campaign was a bridge too far. Despite these reservations, Harris and her team continued to fight, hoping to make history.
Unfortunately, Harris' efforts were not enough. She lost the election to Donald Trump, a result that left her feeling grief and denial. After the election, Harris took time to reflect and heal, using the experience to shape her future political endeavors.
In the end, Harris' 2024 presidential campaign was a testament to her determination and resilience. While the outcome was not what she had hoped for, her journey continues to inspire many.
