Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris is preparing to reintroduce herself to the world in a very different way. Instead of campaigning for office, she will be stepping onto stages across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom to talk about her life, her struggles, and her presidential campaign through the pages of her new memoir, 107 Days.

The book will officially be released on September 23, 2025, and the very next day she begins a multi-city book tour that will keep her traveling until late November. For Harris, this project is not just about promoting a book—it is about shaping her legacy, staying connected to her supporters, and keeping a place in the global conversation about leadership and democracy.

The Book: 107 Days

The title 107 Days refers to the short but dramatic period of Harris’ campaign for the U.S. presidency in 2024.

When President Joe Biden announced in July 2024 that he would not run for reelection—following a widely criticized debate performance—Harris quickly entered the race. She became the Democratic Party’s leading contender, raising money rapidly and drawing crowds at rallies. Her candidacy was historic and full of energy, but despite the momentum, she lost to Donald Trump in the November 2024 election by a wide margin.

In her memoir, Harris promises to take readers behind the curtain of that intense political season. She will share not only the strategies and choices her campaign made, but also the emotional and personal challenges of stepping into the race with so little time to prepare.

Many political watchers believe this book will serve as both a personal reflection and a way for Harris to control the story of her campaign, rather than letting history be written only by analysts and opponents.

The Tour Schedule

Harris’ book tour is ambitious, covering 15 major cities over two months.

* September 24 – Kickoff in New York City

* September 25 – Appearance in Philadelphia

* Late September – Los Angeles stop

* October – Visits to Houston, San Francisco, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Durham (North Carolina), Birmingham (Alabama), and London

* San Francisco event on October 5 at The Masonic Auditorium

* Washington, D.C. event on October 9 at The Warner Theatre

* November – Stops in Portland, Toronto, and Nashville

* November 20 – Final event in Miami, Florida

Her London stop is especially significant because it will mark her first international book appearance, signaling her intent to engage with audiences beyond the U.S.

Harris’ Political Journey So Far

Kamala Harris, a former California senator and attorney general, made history in 2020 when she became the first female Vice President of the United States and the first of South Asian and African descent to hold that office.

Her career has been filled with both achievements and criticism. As Vice President, she was often tasked with difficult assignments, such as addressing migration issues at the U.S.-Mexico border. Supporters praised her for breaking barriers, while critics argued she struggled to establish a clear leadership style in the White House.

By the summer of 2024, when President Biden stepped aside, Harris became the natural Democratic choice. However, her 107-day campaign had major challenges:

* She had less time to prepare than her Republican rival, Donald Trump, who had been campaigning for years.

* She faced divided support within her party, as some Democrats believed another candidate could perform better.

* Trump’s strong base of supporters turned out in huge numbers, leading to his victory in November 2024.

Even though she lost, Harris left a lasting mark by energizing younger voters, women, and minority communities.

Her Future in Politics

In July 2025, Harris addressed ongoing rumors about her future by announcing she would not run for California governor in 2026. Many had speculated she might attempt to take charge in her home state, but she confirmed she was stepping back from that race.

Still, Harris has not ruled out a return to presidential politics in 2028. Some Democrats continue to see her as one of the party’s strongest figures, especially as the party looks for leaders who can stand up to Trump’s influence.

Her upcoming tour will therefore be closely watched—not just by readers and fans, but by political experts who see it as a test of her ability to connect with people outside of campaign rallies.

Why the Tour Matters Globally

Harris’ decision to include stops in Canada and the UK shows she is thinking beyond U.S. politics. By speaking in London, she places herself in a global conversation about democracy, equality, and leadership.

For the public, this is a chance to hear directly from Harris in a different tone—not campaign speeches filled with slogans, but personal reflections about lessons learned, mistakes made, and hopes for the future.

The tour is expected to attract not only readers but also political supporters, journalists, and critics, all eager to hear her perspective. Each appearance will give Harris an opportunity to rebuild her image, which suffered after the 2024 defeat.

Public Expectations

There is already strong curiosity about what Harris will reveal in her memoir. Will she discuss internal disagreements within the Democratic Party? Will she talk about the pressures of running against Trump? How personal will she get about her own emotions and family life during those 107 days?

For supporters, the tour offers inspiration and closure after a painful election loss. For critics, it will be a chance to question her choices and whether she remains relevant in future politics.
