Kamala Harris to release book on presidential run: ‘I've spent a lot of time reflecting'
Kamala Harris will have a memoir out in September on her historic presidential run. The book is called 107 Days, the length of her abbreviated campaign, and will be published by Simon & Schuster on 23 September. 'Just over a year ago, I launched my campaign for president of the United States,' Harris said in a video announcement on Thursday. 'One hundred and seven days traveling the country, fighting for our future – the shortest presidential campaign in modern history. Since leaving office, I've spent a lot of time reflecting on those days and with candor and reflection, I've written a behind-the-scenes account of that journey. I believe there's value in sharing what I saw, what I learned and what it will take to move forward.' Simon & Schuster's CEO, Jonathan Karp, declined to offer any specifics on what Harris will write about, including her thoughts on questions about Joe Biden's fitness for office, but said Harris 'addresses everything we would want her to address'. Harris, defeated last November by Republican Donald Trump, ended up heading the Democratic ticket after Biden dropped out last July in the wake of a disastrous debate performance. Harris would have been the first woman and first woman of color to have become president. She announced on Wednesday that she will not run for California governor in 2026. Simon & Schuster is calling the book a 'page-turning account' with 'surprising and revealing insights'. 'Kamala Harris is a singular American leader,' Karp said in a statement. '107 Days captures the drama of running for president better than just about anything I've read. It's one of the best works of political nonfiction Simon & Schuster has ever published. It's an eyewitness contribution to history and an extraordinary story.' Financial terms for 107 Days were not disclosed. In 2019, Penguin Books published Harris's The Truths We Hold: An American Journey.

A Campaign Memoir by Kamala Harris Is Officially Headed Our Way
Former Vice President Kamala Harris is hardly resting on her laurels after her historic presidential run last year: On Thursday, Simon & Schuster announced that Harris's official campaign memoir, titled 107 Days, will be released on September 23, 2025. Harris has reportedly been working on the manuscript for several months, with the finished product edited by S&S CEO Jonathan Karp alongside 37 Ink publisher Dawn Davis. Courtesy Simon & Schuster 'Just over a year ago, I launched my campaign for president of the United States. One hundred and seven days traveling the country, fighting for our future—the shortest presidential campaign in modern history,' Harris said in a video announcing the book. 'Since leaving office, I've spent a lot of time reflecting on those days and with candor and reflection, I've written a behind-the-scenes account of that journey. I believe there's value in sharing what I saw, what I learned, and what it will take to move forward.' X content This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. Harris is far from the first major presidential candidate to release a high-profile campaign memoir—recall, if you will, Hillary Clinton sharing What Happened back in 2017—but the story of her particular race to the White House, which included scores of celebrity endorsements, deeply aspirational would-be presidential style, and her extremely relatable Second Family definitely defies comparison to anyone else's. Is it September yet?

The book, 107 Days, will be published by Simon & Schuster on Sept. 23.

In writing this book, one truth kept coming back to me: Sometimes the fight takes a while.' Her book follows other accounts of the campaign, as well as Original Sin, the Alex Thompson-Jake Tapper best-seller about Joe Biden's decline as he launched his own campaign, only to end it after a disastrous debate performance. Biden himself is working on a memoir, reportedly with an advance of $10 million and published by Little, Brown & Co., per The New York Times. Harris announced on Wednesday that she would forgo a race for California governor next year, after considering the race. She said that she is not focused on another run for elective office, but her statement did not rule out the prospect of a presidential bid in 2028.
