Kamala Harris, who stepped in as Joe Biden’s successor after he left the 2024 race, recounts her bitter showdown with Donald Trump in her new memoir 107 Days, released September 23. Though Harris fought a close campaign, Trump ultimately won with 49.8% of the popular vote.
The book reveals the clash between their public rivalry and private conversations. While Trump mocked Harris on the campaign trail—once calling her “mentally impaired”—he struck a different tone in private. After surviving a second assassination attempt, he allegedly told Harris, “How do I say bad things about you now? I’m going to tone it down,” even adding that Ivanka Trump was “a big fan.”
