Kamala Harris’ book tour for her memoir 107 Days is kicking off with a thud, dodging key battleground states while chasing deep-blue strongholds as the Daily Mail reports. The former vice president’s latest move to sell her account, starting Sept. 24 in New York City, seems more like a retreat to friendly territory than a bold outreach. Conservatives might smirk at the strategy, given her electoral drubbing last year.
Harris’ tour, promoting her memoir about her 107-day presidential run, hits 15 cities, including international stops in Ontario, Canada, and London, U.K.. It begins in New York City the day after the book’s release and wraps up in Miami on November 20, 2025. The itinerary reads like a Democratic donor’s travel wishlist, heavy on progressive hubs.
Tickets for these events aren’t cheap, ranging from $75 to over $331. For a book tour touting “lessons learned,” the price tag feels like a lecture on elitism. One wonders if Harris expects her base to shell out hundreds just to hear her spin a loss.
The tour’s stops include New York City, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Houston, and San Francisco, with others like Atlanta, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. It’s a curious choice to preach to the choir in deep-blue enclaves while skipping states that could’ve used some post-election charm. The strategy reeks of playing it safe, not winning hearts.
Harris’ memoir, 107 Days, recounts her 2024 campaign, which ended in a decisive loss to Donald Trump, who swept all seven swing states and the popular vote with 312 electoral votes to her 226. The tour visits only three swing states -- Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania -- while ignoring Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona. It’s a head-scratcher for a politician eyeing a 2028 comeback.
“Over the next few months, I will travel our country to share behind-the-scenes moments, lessons learned, and how we keep moving forward together,” Harris said. Sounds inspiring, but conservatives might argue she’s moving forward by sticking to safe spaces. The absence of swing-state grit suggests a disconnect from the broader electorate.
Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona voters won’t get a chance to hear Harris’ pitch in person. These states, pivotal in her 2024 defeat, might’ve offered a chance to rebuild bridges. Instead, Harris seems content to cozy up in Democratic strongholds, leaving battleground voters to wonder if she’s given up on them.
The New York Times noted a decline in registered Democrats across all 30 states tracking party affiliation. “Fewer and fewer Americans are choosing to be Democrats,” the outlet reported. Harris’ tour, avoiding areas where her party’s losing ground, feels like a missed opportunity to confront that reality head-on.
Social media’s already buzzing with skepticism. “If Kamala Harris were an artist, her management would already be talking about cancelling her tour,” quipped X user @jtatkins. The jab lands when you consider the tour’s focus on blue bubbles over red-leaning battlegrounds.
Another X user, Paul A. Szypula (@Bubblebathgirl), didn’t hold back: “Kamala Harris is going on tour to try to sell her lame ‘107 Days’ book where she makes excuses for how she got obliterated in the election.” The sentiment captures a conservative glee at Harris’ post-election moves. Her tour’s high ticket prices and selective stops only fuel the critique.
Harris’ decision to skip a meet-and-greet in Houston drew ire from at least one fan. “All my hopes & dreams died today,” X user Ashbama (@AshariExpresses) lamented, bemoaning the lack of personal engagement. For a tour about “moving forward together,” leaving supporters wanting more connection stings.
The tour’s international stops in Ontario and London raise eyebrows. Why go abroad when key American swing states are left out? It’s a move that could alienate voters still smarting from her campaign’s collapse.
In July 2025, Harris ruled out a run for California governor in 2026, leaving the door open for a 2028 presidential bid. This tour, then, feels like a soft launch for that future campaign. But sticking to Democrat strongholds might not build the broad coalition she would need.
The New York Times tied Trump’s 2024 win to shrinking Democratic Party voter rolls. Harris’ tour, ignoring this trend, seems more about soothing her base than addressing the party’s broader struggles. Conservatives might see it as doubling down on a failing progressive playbook.
For now, Harris’ book tour is a high-priced gamble in friendly territory. Whether it’s a savvy move or a misstep, the former vice president’s sidestepping of swing states speaks volumes. Conservatives will likely watch with a mix of amusement and disbelief as the 107 Days saga unfolds.
