Book Review: “107 Days” by Kamala Harris

A True Behind the Scenes look into the 2024 Presidential elections.

If you’re going to read this book, know this is an official “Spoiler 🔔 Alert!”

Reading 107 Days was a deeply personal experience for me. Having worked in the federal government, specifically the Department of Defense, I saw firsthand the same passive-aggressive dynamics and bureaucratic frustrations that Kamala describes—behaviors that, sadly, persist today. Her vulnerability and honesty about her journey through the 2024 election resonated with me profoundly.

I felt her pain, her disappointment, and even her initial denial when the loss became real. I could almost feel her husband Doug’s cautious, hesitant nature alongside her hopefulness—the tension, the reluctance, the slow-moving conversation he never wanted to have.

What struck me most was how Kamala navigated years of being sidelined in the White House, tucked away, while the president seemed slow to recognize both the crisis and his own mental and physical capability until 107 days from his “planned reelection.”

Joe Biden didn’t make her path any easier—her talent and determination were often underestimated or simply ignored.

Reading this made me reflect on resilience, patience, and the heavy toll of being underestimated in a system that “drags-ass” to change — and is turtle slow to accept diversity and diverse thoughts in any shape or form.

This book isn’t just a political memoir—it’s a candid, often raw look at what it feels like to be capable, ready, and yet NOT trusted to lead.

Engaging. Powerful. Reminiscent—
