Kamala D. Harris served as the forty-ninth vice president of the United States from 2021 to 2025--the first woman in American history to hold the office. She began her career in the Alameda County district attorney's office before being elected district attorney of San Francisco, where her Back on Track program became a national model for reducing recidivism. As California's attorney general, Harris prosecuted transnational gangs, big banks that defrauded homeowners, and for-profit colleges that targeted students and veterans. She defended the Affordable Care Act, fought for marriage equality, and pioneered the nation's first open-data initiative in the criminal justice system. In the United States Senate, Harris fought for civil, immigrant, and voting rights, and gained national recognition for her incisive questioning in committee hearings. As vice president, she led efforts to strengthen global alliances and address child poverty, gun violence, student debt, maternal health, economic opportunity, and reproductive rights--casting more tiebreaking votes than any vice president in history, including for pandemic relief and the largest climate investment ever. Throughout her career, she has always fought for the only client she has ever had: the people.

Political junkies will dig the play by play...candid, salty (incoming f-bombs!) and even a little dishy.-- "San Francisco Chronicle "

Blunt, knowing, fervent, occasionally profane, slyly funny.-- "The Atlantic "

The brilliant, charismatic woman who came close to breaking the ultimate glass ceiling has given us an essential portrait of an unforgettable turning point in her journey....a taut, eye-opening account.-- "Los Angeles Times"

The book isn't a winding memoir or a political treatise, and Harris doesn't disclose any future plans. Instead, it reads like a ticking time bomb, with each chapter counting down to Election Day....Although Harris earned a reputation as guarded and circumspect, the book has the tone of someone who is finished biting her tongue. She concedes mistakes, reveals frustrations and details some of the stranger moments from her race.-- "Associated Press"

You are beautifully impolitic in this book, in a way that makes it honest, candid, fun to read, and really important. It is blunt and true, and I commend you for writing it and for being willing to go out there and defend it and talk about it in these blunt terms in a time we really need straight talk.-- "Rachel Maddow"

Revealing, intriguing, and even sensational.-- "Peter Baker, The New York Times"

The best moments in '107 Days' happen when Harris is open about what she saw and clear about what she really thinks, when this memoir is truly a book about a campaign...-- "Carlos Lozada, New York Times"
