Former Vice President Kamala Harris is pulling back the curtain on her 2024 campaign battle with Donald Trump in a new memoir, *107 Days*, released on September 23, 2025. The book offers an unflinching look at the bruising race that ended with Trump’s narrow victory, winning 49.8% of the popular vote.
Harris recounts the sharp divide between Trump’s public attacks and his private conversations with her. While he mocked her on the campaign trail—at one point calling her “mentally impaired”—he struck a surprisingly different tone in private. After surviving a second assassination attempt, Trump reportedly told Harris, “How do I say bad things about you now? I’m going to tone it down,” even adding that his daughter Ivanka was “a big fan.”
Harris wasn’t persuaded. “He’s a con man. He’s really good at it,” she writes.
The memoir doesn’t spare Joe Biden either. Harris criticizes Biden’s decision to run for reelection in 2024, calling it “reckless.” Reflecting on her own role, she questions whether stepping up was an act of grace or misjudgment: “In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high… It should have been more than a personal decision.”
With blunt reflections on both Trump and Biden, *107 Days* delivers an insider’s view of one of the most turbulent chapters in recent U.S. political history.
