Presidential candidate Harris unveils preferred vice presidential pick, yet expresses reservations that the nation might not be prepared for this selection.

Next Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris's book "107 Days" is set to be released, offering an unfiltered look at one of the wildest and most consequential presidential campaigns in American history.

In her memoir, Harris describes the chaos of campaign strategy sessions, the intensity of debate prep, and private moments rarely made public. The book provides a fascinating account of the pressures, triumphs, and heartbreaks of the history-defining race.

Harris ultimately selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, a choice that was made after she lost the presidential election to Donald Trump and JD Vance in November. However, according to The Atlantic, Harris's first choice for running mate was Pete Buttigieg.

Joe Biden originally preferred Susan Rice as his vice-presidential running mate in 2020, but he chose Harris to balance the ticket and appeal to a broader demographic. Harris stated that Buttigieg "would have been an ideal partner - if I were a straight white man."

Despite this, Harris wrote that Buttigieg "would have been an ideal partner" and expressed her admiration for the former secretary of transportation and mayor of South Bend, Indiana. Harris stated that she loves working with Buttigieg and his husband, Chasten, and considers Buttigieg a sincere public servant.

Interestingly, Harris criticized Biden's 2024 campaign in her new book. However, no prior cabinet member has admitted that President Biden should not have sought re-election in 2024.

Greg Norman, a reporter at our website Digital, has had a chance to read "107 Days" and reports that the book includes surprising and revealing insights into the campaign. The book offers a unique perspective on the inner workings of the 2020 presidential campaign and provides a captivating read for anyone interested in politics.

On May 13, 2022, then-Vice President Kamala Harris spoke with Pete Buttigieg during the U.S.-Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) special summit at the State Department in Washington. Despite their differences in the election, Harris and Buttigieg have maintained a professional and respectful relationship.

In her upcoming book, Harris provides an unfiltered look at the pressures, triumphs, and heartbreaks of the 2020 presidential campaign. "107 Days" is a must-read for anyone interested in politics and offers a unique perspective on one of the most significant events in recent American history.
