Tickets went on sale August 23 to see Kamala Harris and hear her take on the shortest campaign possibly ever when she debuts her new book, 107 Days. Harris is taking her show on the road for a 15-city tour that is sure to beat the band. The event propaganda promises the excited Kamala fan that if they purchase a seat, she will reveal the ups and downs of the 2024 presidential campaign. The former vice president is banking on Democratic Party voters to turn out and bolster confidence for the next grueling crusade against the MAGA movement.
Harris hopes to sell out theaters and music halls – great acoustics for the laugh that may have contributed to her political downfall. Prices vary by venue, but $2400 will get you a front row in NYC, where you can see her tonsils if the lighting is good. For $75 bucks in Houston, eager fans get a nosebleed perch and an autographed new book – likely autopen signed. "VIP Meet & Greet" tickets are available that include a photo with Harris and the book.
But back to the topic of how to lose by a big margin: Will Harris explain how she is the first Democratic presidential contender to lose the popular vote in 20 years? Nobody cheated this time, so that must sting when it comes to legacy.
Will There Be a Kamala Harris Movement?
"107 Days is my candid and personal account of the shortest presidential campaign in modern history. Over the next few months, I will travel our country to share behind-the-scenes moments, lessons learned, and how we keep moving forward together. I'll see you out there," Harris wrote in a post on X. Funnily enough, two cities on the list are Toronto and London: Reminiscent of the Border Czar.
The instant replies began with Variety's Daniel D'Addario with the quip, "The Errors Tour."
Perhaps in hindsight, Harris should have started with a friendlier platform, like Instagram, where everyone is holding a kitten or a puppy and making inspirational statements because, well, she was jumped – just not like Jussie Smollett.
Political commentator and Versus Media Podcast host Stephen Miller wrote: "Because if this last election taught us anything, it's that people want to hear more from her."
"How to blow 2.5B in 107 days," another commenter added to the ex-veep's post.
"She's doing a tour about how she lost?" Deputy White House Press Secretary Abigail Jackson wrote, adding: "Does her team have zero self-awareness, or do they just hate her? Because nothing says kicking off your 2028 campaign like a book tour about how badly you lost the last election."
One person even asked if there was a chapter on political pandering or "107 accents in 107 days."
Harris has not declared her intentions to run for the coveted Oval Office again, but she did decline to run for California governor. This race has no incumbent, as Governor Gavin Newsom is termed out. The quiet leaves speculation, innuendo, and flat-out rumors to swirl throughout the gatherings of political pundits and strategists.
"I want to travel the country," Harris told Stephen Colbert, adding: "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." No, but she and her handlers are taking note of how many people show up to give money to the woman who almost bankrupted the Democratic National Committee with $20 million in campaign debt.
Odds Aren't Great for 2028
Kamala is polling well right now, hovering in the one or two spot. Still, most of those numbers are inflated by four years of relative fame and media coverage as a woman of color and the first woman to become vice president. Whatever her strategy team is doing, it's not in much of a hurry: She's not speaking anywhere, not podcasting, not being visible – almost like her 107 days on the campaign trail.
Her fellow Democrats are months ahead in gripping and grinning across the country, and the same guys she once vetted as a possible running mate aren't likely to bow out of the race if she jumps in. Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky, Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland, and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg are slogging away at becoming recognizable and part of every family's dinner table conversation.
But hey, a book tour and the absolute unknown of what an audience will throw at one former vice president could be just the ticket. Can she bring a bit of meat to the table and toss out the word salads that have defined Kamala Harris to date? Will she fill the seats MAGA rally style? Unlikely to both, and as she demonstrated on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, that crazy and inappropriately timed laugh has only intensified.
