Kamala Harris, the former U.S. Vice President, is under intense scrutiny from her fellow Democrats following the publication of her memoir, 107 Days. Released on September 24, the book presents a critical examination of the Democratic Party’s performance in the 2024 presidential election, attributing blame to prominent party figures. In her narrative, Harris describes the chaos and difficulty she faced during her campaign after Joe Biden’s withdrawal and her eventual defeat to Donald Trump. The memoir has ignited controversy, particularly due to her assertion that selecting Pete Buttigieg as her running mate was avoided as it might be “too big of a risk” for voters combined with her critiques of other Democratic leaders.
Party members’ reactions have been overwhelmingly negative, with Buttigieg countering that he believes voters deserve “more credit.” A spokesperson for Josh Shapiro, a Pennsylvania Governor highlighted in her text, labeled Harris’s depiction as “simply ridiculous.” As the 2026 midterm elections loom, the fear within the party is that such revelations may exacerbate divisions when solidarity is crucial.

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel has resumed airing his late-night talk show following a week-long suspension instituted by Disney due to his remarks involving conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. The suspension, which drew extensive political backlash and raised discussions about free speech, was lifted after Disney stated they had “thoughtful conversations” with Kimmel. Despite the controversy, Kimmel’s show will proceed with actor Glen Powell as the initial guest for its return. The incident stemmed from Kimmel’s monologue critiquing the politicization of Kirk’s death, leading to threats from the FCC against ABC’s licensing.
