Tone & Political Bias: Moderately Left-Leaning
Why: Coverage highlights Harris’ personal reflections, small bookstore partnerships, and grassroots approach, presenting her in a favorable light while avoiding critical framing.
The Announcement
Former Vice President Kamala Harris has announced a 15-city book tour to promote her upcoming memoir, 107 Days. The tour begins on September 24, one day after the book’s release, and will conclude in late November at Miami’s Ziff Opera House. The tour includes stops in major U.S. cities such as New York, San Francisco, and Miami, as well as international appearances in Toronto and London.
About the Memoir
Harris has described 107 Days as a journal-style account of her abbreviated 2024 presidential campaign, which began after then-President Joe Biden exited the race. In a recent statement, publisher Simon & Schuster said Harris will use the events to share “what she saw, what she learned, and what it will take to move forward.”
Tour Format and Venues
Events will be held mostly in theatres and music halls.
Moderators for each stop have not yet been announced.
Harris has intentionally partnered with independent bookstores in several cities, according to people familiar with the planning.
Tickets are scheduled to go on sale on Friday. VIP packages will include signed books and meet-and-greet opportunities with Harris.
Expanded Stops and Untraditional Markets
According to NBC News reporting, Harris added several “untraditional” markets to the tour. These include:
Portland, Oregon
Durham, North Carolina
Sources also indicated that Harris may make surprise appearances beyond the scheduled tour events.
Conservative State Stops
Harris’ schedule also includes events in more conservative-leaning states, such as:
Texas
Tennessee
Alabama
Political analysts note that these choices could fuel speculation about her future national ambitions.
Harris on Her Future Plans
In July, Harris ruled out running for California governor in 2026, saying she does not “want to go back in the system.” Instead, she emphasized a desire to travel, listen, and engage with people outside of campaign politics.
On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, she explained:
“I want to listen to people, I want to talk with people, and I don’t want it to be transactional, where I’m asking for their vote.”
Still, two sources told NBC News that Harris is keeping the option open to run for president again in 2028.
Political Implications
While the book is officially positioned as a personal reflection, the timing and scope of the tour are expected to:
Keep Harris in the public eye.
Test her message in different regions.
Build relationships with both traditional and non-traditional audiences.
This has intensified speculation about whether she could mount another presidential run.
