"The first: "Those 107 days are a part of American history," Harris said. "It was important to me to make sure my voice was represented." Sponsor The second: The process of running for U.S. president is "pretty opaque," Harris said. She wanted to "lift the hood on how this process works," in hopes of giving readers greater access to it and an opportunity to see where they could fit in."
"Her secure phone rings. From Delaware, President Joe Biden says, "I need to talk to you." Biden then says the words that will define the next 107 days of Harris' life: "I've decided I'm dropping out." Since its release in late September, Harris has been on a 15-city book tour that brought her to Portland on Wednesday night, exactly one year after those 107 days ended in her losing the 2024 presidential election. Literary Arts presented the Portland event."
On July 21, 2024, Vice President Kamala Harris was at her Washington residence when President Joe Biden called to tell her he had decided to drop out, beginning a 107-day period that defined her campaign. Harris later wrote 107 Days and released it in late September. She embarked on a 15-city book tour, including a Portland event at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall presented by Literary Arts. Harris spoke with Rukaiyah Adams about why she wrote the book: to ensure her voice is represented and to demystify the presidential campaign process. Harris structured the book as a campaign journal combining public events and private moments.
