Kamala Harris’ new memoir lands like a political grenade, torching Joe Biden’s choice to chase a second term. In 107 Days, the former vice president calls Biden’s decision reckless, driven by ego rather than reason, as the New York Post reports. Her words, revealed in an excerpt published by the Atlantic, have conservatives nodding in agreement at the unmasking of Beltway hubris.
Harris’ new book rips into Biden’s re-election bid, arguing that it was the product primarily of personal ambition and one that ignored the contest's high stakes. The excerpt, obtained on Wednesday, stunned former Biden aides, who expected a bland recounting, not a candid takedown. This isn’t just a book -- it’s a calculated strike against the former president's team.
The former VP didn’t hold back, labeling Biden’s decision as reckless. She argues that it wasn’t a choice for one man’s ego to make. Harris’s bluntness exposes the self-serving underbelly of D.C. politics, where personal glory often trumps national interest.
Harris defends her silence during Biden’s campaign, citing her loyalty as a team player. She claims that her “delicate status” in the White House made speaking out risky. But loyalty to a faltering leader, conservatives argue, shouldn’t outweigh duty to the nation.
The memoir reveals Harris’ frustration with Biden’s team, which she says fanned negative narratives about her. From her raucous laugh to her dating history, attacks went unanswered by a White House communications team that she says should have had her back.
Harris writes that Biden’s staff saw her rising popularity as a threat to his time in the spotlight. “If she’s shining, he’s dimmed,” she says was the Biden team's zero-sum mindset. Conservatives see this as classic progressive insecurity, where individual success is sacrificed for collective control.
The excerpt has shocked Biden’s former aides, who called it a juicy tell-all. One told the Post it “hurts” Harris’ chances for a 2028 comeback. Her candor might sell books, but it’s a political misstep in a party that demands lockstep loyalty.
A second Biden alum admitted surprise at Harris’ honesty, expecting a “nothingburger.” They predicted a sold-out book tour and a boosted profile, but no political gain. Conservatives chuckle -- this is what happens when you air the left’s dirty laundry.
Harris’ memoir, strategically released before Biden’s own, aims to shape the narrative first. The aide noted it’s a smart move to beat Biden to the punch. But outshining a former boss won’t win her points with a party that worships unity.
Harris insists that her silence on Biden’s cognitive health concerns was loyalty, not cowardice. She argues that she was in the worst position to urge him to step aside, fearing that it would look like a self-serving move. Conservatives counter that leadership demands tough calls, not passive allegiance.
The former VP doubles down, saying Biden’s team failed to see her success as vital to his legacy. Harris claims her achievements as vice president could’ve bolstered confidence in Biden’s judgment. Instead, the White House let her twist in the wind -- a classic progressive fumble.
Harris rejects claims of a White House cover-up about Biden’s health. She calls Biden “deeply knowledgeable” and “more compassionate” than Trump, even on his worst day. But conservatives see this as a weak defense of a leader visibly struggling under the weight of age.
Harris attributes Biden’s stumbles to exhaustion, not incapacity, citing grueling travel undertaken before his debate debacle. “At 81, Joe got tired,” she writes, downplaying concerns about his fitness. Conservatives argue this excuse only highlights the recklessness of his re-election bid.
She insists that she would have spoken out if Biden were truly incapacitated. “As loyal as I am to President Biden, I am more loyal to my country,” Harris declares. Yet her silence during months of public doubt suggests otherwise, fueling conservative skepticism.
Harris’s memoir lays bare the dysfunction of a White House obsessed with control over competence. Her critique of Biden’s ego-driven campaign resonates with conservatives who’ve long decried progressive arrogance. While Harris may profit from her tell-all, her political future dims as she trades loyalty for headlines.
