Harris’ campaign book on track to be the year’s best-selling memoir
Kamala Harris’ autopsy of the 2024 election is leaving storefronts at a historic rate.
Simon & Schuster, the book’s publisher, announced Monday that the former vice president’s book had sold 350,000 copies across the country in its first week on sale, putting it on track to be the year’s top-selling memoir. Just three celebrity memoirs — from Britney Spears, Taylor Swift and Prince Harry — have bested the week one total since 2023, the publisher said.
“In addition to being one of the most interesting books ever written about the experience of running for President of the United States, the success of 107 DAYS proves what a galvanizing and inspiring cultural figure Kamala Harris is,” Jonathan Karp, president and CEO of Simon & Schuster, said in a statement.
But “107 Days,” the former vice president’s account of the frenetic 15 weeks following her elevation to the top of the Democratic ticket and culminating in Donald Trump’s November victory, hasn’t exactly ingratiated Harris to other leaders in her own party.
Top Democrats, including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have all bristled at jabs Harris wrote into her book describing the first hours of her campaign and the process by which she selected a running mate.
And the media blitz surrounding her book release, which has seen Harris attempt to walk back some of her criticism and refuse to rule out another presidential run, has only further alienated Democrats still sore over losing the White House to Trump in last year’s election.
But it was Harris’ criticism of former President Joe Biden, her boss in the White House, that drew the most attention. In her memoir, Harris wrote that the White House communications shop under Biden saddled her with unpopular policy priorities and amplified negative stories about her office. She wrote that in hindsight, refraining from pushing him to drop out of the presidential race earlier was reckless.
Still, Harris said on “The View” last week that the two have stayed in touch.
“It’s a good relationship and it’s a relationship that is based on mutual respect, having been in the trenches together, and admiration,” she said. “And it’s sincere.”
