Kamala Harris, the former vice president, is set to release her campaign memoir titled "107 Days." The book reveals her thoughts and frustrations following her loss in the 2020 presidential election to Donald Trump. Harris expresses concerns about President Joe Biden's decision to run for re-election and reflects on her own role in that decision.

In her memoir, Harris criticizes both Biden and his team, as well as herself, for not challenging his re-election bid. She describes this as a "recklessness" that should not have been left to personal ambition. While she does not question Biden's mental fitness for the presidency, she expresses worries about his ability to campaign effectively, citing his increasing fatigue and verbal missteps.

Harris portrays herself as fiercely loyal, which she believes contributed to her reluctance to push Biden to step aside. She recounts a moment when Biden called her just hours before a debate with Trump, expressing concern about support from influential figures in Philadelphia. "I just couldn't understand why he would call me, right now, and make it all about himself," she writes.

The memoir also reveals her regrets about not distancing herself from Biden after he stepped down. She recalls a moment on a talk show where she stated she couldn't think of anything she would have done differently than Biden, a comment that haunted her throughout the campaign.

Despite her frustrations, Harris acknowledges the genuine rapport she shared with Biden, recalling their regular lunches in the White House. However, she criticizes the Biden administration for not defending her against negative narratives and for failing to counteract untrue attacks. She cites the AUKUS submarine deal as an example where her efforts to improve relations with France were overshadowed by media coverage of her perceived gaffe.

Harris also addresses her stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict during the campaign. She expresses disappointment that Biden did not show more empathy for Palestinians, despite her urging. "I had pleaded with Joe... to extend the same empathy he showed to the suffering of Ukrainians to the suffering of innocent Gazan civilians," she writes.

In her memoir, Harris reflects on the challenges she faced as a candidate, including the pressure to choose a running mate. She reveals that while she considered Pete Buttigieg, she ultimately chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, citing concerns about the political risks of selecting a gay running mate.

Harris recounts her interactions with Trump, noting that despite his harsh public attacks, he was surprisingly cordial during a private phone call. She describes him as "surprisingly effusive" and acknowledges that he has a capacity for charm, though she remains wary of his character.

Overall, "107 Days" offers a candid look at Harris's experiences and reflections during a tumultuous period in American politics.
