Kamala Harris, the former US vice president who briefly led the Democratic Party after Joe Biden’s withdrawal in 2024, is publishing a memoir.

The book, 107 Days, arrives September 23, and promises an unvarnished, first-person account of what Harris calls “the shortest presidential campaign in modern history.”
“This isn’t a traditional political memoir,” said Jonathan Karp, the CEO of Simon & Schuster, which is publishing the book. “It’s closer in spirit to The West Wing or Rocky. It reads like a suspense novel.” Karp also described 107 Days as one of the most compelling pieces of political nonfiction the company has ever released.
Harris announced the project in a video posted to social media, where she described journaling her thoughts after the 2024 election which she lost to Donald Trump. “Since leaving office, I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on those days,” Harris said. “I believe there’s value in sharing what I saw, what I learned and what I know it will take to move forward.”
What the world saw on the campaign trail was only part of the story.

“What the world saw on the campaign trail was only part of the story,” she wrote.
The memoir focuses exclusively on the 2024 campaign, not on her tenure as vice president. Harris previously chronicled her early political career and personal background in her 2019 book The Truths We Hold. This time, she zeroes in on what it was like to step into a flailing campaign in the final stages of a fractured election cycle.
The book arrives just after Harris confirmed that she will not run for governor of California next year, reviving speculation about her political future—and whether a return to the national stage is still in the cards.
“To read the book is to be a fly on the wall as critical decisions were made and key team members tapped, all in such a dramatic moment in our history,” said executive editor Dawn Davis.

Simon & Schuster did not disclose how much Harris was paid for the memoir. Her announcement follows reports that Joe Biden has sold his own post-presidency memoir to Little, Brown for a reported $10 million.
“Kamala Harris is a singular American leader,” Karp said. “107 Days captures the drama of running for president better than just about anything I’ve read.”
