In July 2024, President Joe Biden surprised the nation and dropped out of his re-election bid. Vice President Kamala Harris took his place as the Democratic Party’s nominee in a whirlwind 15-week campaign for president of the United States.

America’s first woman vice president shares a firsthand account of her failed run for the White House in 107 Days (Simon & Schuster), now available for preorder ahead of its Sept. 23 release at Amazon, Bookshop and Books-A-Million, while Barnes & Noble is offering signed copies. The 320-page memoir also reveals the former California attorney general’s unique outlook on politics and running for the highest seat in the country.
