Since leaving office, I\u2019ve spent a lot of time reflecting on those days and with candor and reflection, I\u2019ve written a behind-the-scenes account of that journey. I believe there\u2019s value in sharing what I saw, what I learned and what it will take to move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-16w5gq9\">Simon &amp; Schuster\u2019s CEO, Jonathan Karp, declined to offer any specifics on what Harris will write about, including her thoughts on questions about Joe Biden\u2019s fitness for office, but said Harris \u201caddresses everything we would want her to address\u201d.<\/p>\n<p> Photograph: AP<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-16w5gq9\">Harris, defeated last November by Republican <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/donaldtrump\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Donald Trump<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-16w5gq9\">She announced on Wednesday that she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2025\/jul\/30\/kamala-harris-california-governor-race-election\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">will not run<\/a> for California governor in 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-16w5gq9\">Simon &amp; Schuster is calling the book a \u201cpage-turning account\u201d with \u201dsurprising and revealing insights\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-16w5gq9\">\u201cKamala Harris is a singular American leader,\u201d Karp said in a statement. \u201c107 Days captures the drama of running for president better than just about anything I\u2019ve read. It\u2019s one of the best works of political nonfiction Simon &amp; Schuster has ever published. It\u2019s an eyewitness contribution to history and an extraordinary story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-16w5gq9\">Financial terms for 107 Days were not disclosed.
