Kamala Harris
Your Secret Service code name is Pioneer.
You are the first woman in history to be elected vice president of the United States.
On July 21, 2024, your running mate, Joe Biden, announces that he will not be seeking reelection.
The presidential election will occur on November 5, 2024.
You have 107 days.
From the chaos of campaign strategy sessions to the intensity of debate prep under relentless scrutiny and the private moments that rarely make headlines, Kamala Harris offers an unfiltered look at the pressures, triumphs, and heartbreaks of a history-defining race. With behind-the-scenes details and a voice that is both intimate and urgent, this is more than a political memoir—it’s a chronicle of resilience, leadership, and the high stakes of democracy in action.
Written with candor, a unique perspective, and the pace of a page-turning novel, 107 Days takes you inside the race for the presidency as no one has ever done before.

Editorial Review
American Grit
On 21 July, 2024, President Joseph R. Biden bowed out of the US presidential campaign and Vice President Kamala Harris stepped in. She had 107 days to mount a campaign, meet American citizens from coast-to-coast, debate, raise money (those fundraising Zooms were epic), and convince voters to elect her on November 5. The morning of the election in the States, I called a colleague and told her how emotional I felt. I couldn’t quite pinpoint if I was overwhelmingly happy that a Black woman was potentially going to call the White House home, or that she got this far. Now, 24 September, 2025, will be just as significant for me, since it’s when I will listen to Harris narrate her political memoir. It will undoubtedly lodge somewhere in my psyche forever. How could it not? Kamala Harris has a place in history that will never be erased. No one can take that away. No. One.—Yvonne D., Audible Editor
The book is written in a nice style which, while not exactly my cup of tea, is a positive. Equally, I found that Kamala has actually got a very good narration voice so it is quite easy to listen to.
As for the book's contents though, it obviously has a lot of political commentary and depending on who you are you'll either love it or hate it.
However, what I found to be somewhat jarring about this book is the incredible number of quotes from other people: politicians, activists, journalists, etc, that are just there to lavish praise on how great Kamala is as a campaigner
Needless to say this is made somewhat tragically ironic considering how we all know the election ended.
In the book itself she discusses how she often got frustrated with Joe Biden's team when they sugarcoated polls to him and they just blew hot smoke up his ass, yet it seems she has genuinely bought into all the praise she received.
She also spends a not inconsiderable amount of time blaming other people for the loss she suffered. Tim Walz, Joe Biden, CNN & Paramount, etc. Everyone is to blame but her and when there is no one to blame she blames the time table.
The book is thus a kind of fascinating look into the mind of Kamala Harris--someone who knew exactly what kind of mess she was jumping into when she took Joe Biden's place and yet feels like she was somehow cheated out of a longer election.
Republican or Democrat, American or Brit, I think people should be able to admit that Kamala Harris was someone who lost because of a whole host of factors, but one of those factors was her, and much of her electability flaws were her personal failings.
However, still, I found the book an interesting case study and I think so will everyone else who reads it.
