"A cliff to me suggests finality, and I'm not into that."
"Do you think that breaking barriers means you start out on one side of the barrier and just end up on the other side of the barrier? No, there's breaking involved."
"And when you break things, it might get cut and you might bleed, and it is worth it every single time."
Kamala Harris lost the 2024 presidential election after a 107-day campaign, the shortest modern presidential run. She indicated at Fortune's Most Powerful Women conference that the defeat does not signal finality in her political career. Harris declined to enter the California gubernatorial race and recently published her memoir, 107 Days, which is on track to be a best-selling memoir. The memoir reflects on her campaign, her relationship with Joe Biden and his family, regrets about insufficient engagement with key voter groups, and challenges of defining her own narrative in Biden's shadow. Harris emphasized that breaking barriers involves hardship and sacrifice but remains worthwhile.
