Kamala Harris\u2019 autopsy of the 2024 election is leaving storefronts at a historic rate.<\/p>\n

Simon & Schuster, the book\u2019s publisher, announced Monday that the former vice president\u2019s book had sold 350,000 copies<\/a> across the country in its first week on sale, putting it on track to be the year\u2019s top-selling memoir. Just three celebrity memoirs \u2014 from Britney Spears, Taylor Swift and Prince Harry \u2014 have bested the week one total since 2023, the publisher said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 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,\u201d Jonathan Karp, president and CEO of Simon & Schuster, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

But \u201c107 Days,\u201d the former vice president\u2019s account of the frenetic 15 weeks following her elevation to the top of the Democratic ticket and culminating in Donald Trump\u2019s November victory, hasn\u2019t exactly ingratiated Harris to other leaders in her own party<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> and the process by which she selected a running mate.<\/p>\n

And the media blitz surrounding her book release, which has seen Harris attempt to walk back<\/a> some of her criticism and refuse to rule out another presidential run, has only further alienated Democrats<\/a> still sore over losing the White House to Trump in last year\u2019s election.<\/p>\n

But it was Harris\u2019 criticism of former President Joe Biden<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

Still, Harris said on “The View” last week<\/a> that the two have stayed in touch. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a good relationship and it\u2019s a relationship that is based on mutual respect, having been in the trenches together, and admiration,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s sincere.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
