She’s still speaking.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris announced plans Thursday to cash in on her 2024 election drubbing with a new book titled “107 Days” that promises a “behind-the-scenes” look at the “shortest presidential campaign in modern history.”
“I believe there’s value in sharing what I saw, what I learned, and what I know it will take to move forward,” the unemployed 60-year-old said in a video announcement — a day after she passed on running for California governor.
“In writing this book, one truth kept coming back to me. Sometimes the fight takes a while, but I remain full of hope and I remain clear-eyed,” she added. “I will never stop to make our country reflect the very best of its ideals.”
Rumors that Harris would write a campaign memoir had swirled for months and CNN reported that the Sept. 23 release of “107 Days” was a factor in her decision not to seek the Golden State governorship.
It was not immediately known how much she was paid by publisher Simon & Schuster for the book. Harris’ previous tome, 2019’s “The Truths We Hold,” was published by Penguin Random House.
Harris stepped in as the Democratic presidential nominee after former President Joe Biden abruptly ended his re-election bid on July 21, 2024, 107 days before voting day.
The VP was initially buoyed by a wave of positive media coverage, with some polls showing her leading Republican Donald Trump.
Those gains proved illusory, as Harris became the first Democratic candidate in 20 years to lose the popular vote.
Harris described the 2024 race Thursday as “high-stakes and deeply personal for me” and noted that she had “spent a lot of time reflecting on those days.”
She also teased that the book was written with “candor and reflection.”
Since her loss, Harris has kept a low public profile, seldom making public appearances.
In recent months, she was rumored to be considering three paths: Running for California governor in 2026, running for president in 2028, and staying away from pursuing elected office.
On Wednesday, Harris announced that she would not seek power in Sacramento.
“I love this state, its people and its promise,” she said. “It is my home. But after deep reflection, I’ve decided that I will not run for governor in this election.”
“I look forward to getting back out and listening to the American people, helping elect Democrats across the nation who will fight fearlessly, and sharing more details in the months ahead about my own plans.”
