Kamala Harris skewered over book tour for memoir on failed presidential campaign



Former Vice President Kamala Harris was dragged online Thursday after announcing an international tour to promote her new book recounting her failed 2024 presidential campaign.

The unemployed 60-year-old will kick off a 15-city tour on Sept. 24, a day after releasing her memoir “107 Days,” which offers a “behind-the-scenes” look at what the Democrat calls “the shortest presidential campaign in modern history,” according to a post on X.

The post included a short montage of her grinning ear-to-ear on the campaign trail, but social media users quickly panned it as a strange way to mark her crushing loss to President Trump.

“Never seen someone celebrating an L like that lol,” one user quipped, as another blasted it as “the loser tour.”

“How to blow 2.5B in 107 days,” another commenter added to ex-veep’s post.

Politicians, White House officials and conservative commentators also swiftly mocked Harris for traveling from New York and Canada to Washington, DC, and London to share a detailed diary of her brutal defeat.

“She’s doing a tour about how she lost?” Deputy White House Press Secretary Abigail Jackson posted.

“Does her team have 0 self-awareness or do they just hate her? Because nothing says kicking off your 2028 campaign like a book tour about how badly you lost the last election.”

Versus Media Podcast host Stephen L. Miller wrote, “Because if this last election taught us anything it’s that people want to hear more from her.”

In her announcement, Harris said she plans to share an inside peek at lessons learned on the campaign trail and ways the country can remain united and build a path “forward together.”

Harris stepped in as the Democratic presidential nominee after former President Joe Biden ended his re-election bid on July 21, 2024, 107 days before the election — and less than a month after his disastrous debate performance against Trump.

The VP was initially buoyed by a wave of positive media coverage, with some polls showing her leading her Republican opponent and eventual victor.

Those gains proved illusory, as Harris became the first Democratic candidate in 20 years to lose the popular vote. 

Her tour is expected to wrap in Miami on Nov. 20.
