Kamala Harris details the whirlwind that finally ended in the loss of elections in his memoirs published on Tuesday, “107 days”, in which his central argument is that he could have mounted a more formidable challenge with more time and less agitation of the personnel of the then President Joe Biden, who believes that he was partially guilty of the continuous negative news.
Here are three key moments on which he writes that they defined those 107 critical days:

Biden Rattles Harris in a predebate phone call
Harris details a heartbreaking moment for her before her high bets are first discussed against Donald Trump. Moments before walking on the stage, they told him that Biden had asked for what Pep Talk was. He offered him good luck, although “with little warmth in his voice,” he writes, and assured him that he was going to do “well.”
She writes that Biden quickly moved from the imminent debate and asked Harris about a rumor that her brother had heard that some “power runners” of the Philadelphia area doubted her to support her because she had been riding it in private. Biden told Harris that he did not believe those rumors, but wanted him to realize, although he was blind about why, of all time, he approached to get his attention a few minutes before this moment of high pressure.
“I couldn’t understand why I would call me, at this time, and I would do everything about himself. Distract me with concern about hostile Powerbrokers in the largest city in the most important swing state.”
Harris said her husband, Doug Emhoff, noticed that she was angry and disappointed by the call.

She loved Buttigieg as a partner of Fortaleza and was discouraged by Shapiro’s “unrealistic expectation”
The Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, was Harris’s “first option” for his selection of formula partner, but she says that he would have been ideal if she were “a heterosexual and white man”, her aggravating identities too much responsibility for the US voter.
When asked about this for politician, Buttigieg did not agree.
“I was surprised when I read that. I only believe in giving the Americans more credit than that,” he said.
Harris details his expanding process of formula couple research, particularly that of the governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, and the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz. He found Shapiro “balanced, polished and pleasant.” But he had an “unrealistic expectation” for the role of vice president.
“At one point, he reflected that he would like to be in the room for each decision. I said bluntly that it was an unrealistic expectation. A vice president is not a co -president. He had a persistent concern that he could not settle for a role like number two and that it would be used in our association.”
Harris also said that an assistant believed that Shapiro was “disappointed” for having to stay out of view while transporting to his research meeting and asked how he could borrow the Smithsonian art work to decorate the residence if he moved.
Manuel Bonder, a Shapiro spokesman, retreated in a statement to ABC.
“It is simply ridiculous to suggest that Governor Shapiro focused on something more than defeating Donald Trump and protecting Pensylvania from chaos that we are living now. The governor campaigned tirelessly for the Harris-Walz ticket, and as he has made clear, the conclusion of this process was a deeply personal decision for both him and for the vice president,” Bonder said.

Harris reflects on ‘The View’ Gaffe
“Everything about my appearance in the view was going well. Until it was,” says Harris, who received a wave of criticism for saying about the program that could not think of anything that would do differently from Biden’s.
She writes that she thought she was in friendly territory, with an audience with which she felt comfortable and some past exterior relationships with some of the cohosts. But none of his preparations with his team went to her when asked about what she could have done differently. Instead, she offered an answer that sank her: “There is nothing that comes to mind.”
“I had no idea that I had just taken the pin in a grenade of hand. I was not prepared for the explosion that was approaching. Parked in several places around the set, my staff was out of his own,” he writes, and added that Bite was “a gift for Trump’s campaign, and used it in AD after ad to chain an unpopular president.”
After its appearance, Trump immediately criticized her, saying that he offered “her most silly answer so far” and criticized her for “being exposed as a ‘doll’ every time he makes a show.”
