US News: Kamala Harris' first words after losing to Trump were, 'Oh my God...'

Kamala Harris: In her new book, "107 Days," former US Vice President Kamala Harris shares her experiences after losing to Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. The book's title refers to her 107-day campaign. Ahead of the book's release on Tuesday, some of its revelations have become a topic of discussion. Harris not only admits her mistakes but also recounts the complexities of her relationship with Joe Biden and some strange incidents during the campaign.

News of Defeat and Shock

In the book, Harris recounts the moment she learned of her defeat to Donald Trump. She writes that she couldn't believe the news. After receiving the news, an aide removed the phrase "Madam President" from cupcakes and distributed them among disappointed employees. Harris recalled this moment, writing, “I said, ‘Oh my God, what will happen to our country now?’” Even the next day, she hadn’t recovered from the shock and struggled to accept her defeat.

Tension with Biden and Campaign Shortcomings

Harris also mentions in her book the sourness in her relationship with Joe Biden. She explains that at 81, Biden appeared fatigued, which was especially evident during the election debates. Yet, his team continued to campaign with slogans like “Let Joe Biden Win.” Harris admitted that there were several flaws in her strategy during the campaign, which impacted her performance.

‘The View’ Mistake

In the book, Harris recounts a major mistake she made during her appearance on the talk show The View. When a host asked her what she did differently from Biden over the past four years, Harris replied, “Not a single thing comes to mind.” This response presented a major opportunity to Trump's campaign. Harris writes, "I had no idea that I had inadvertently given the Trump campaign a gift." This incident damaged her campaign and raised questions about her image.

Introspection and Looking Toward the Future

107 Days is not only the story of Harris's campaign, but also a document of her introspection and learning. In the book, she candidly reveals her annoyances, mistakes, and the awkward moments that were part of her campaign. This book offers both her supporters and critics a unique glimpse into how a historic campaign unexpectedly ended.

Kamala Harris's book is not only a chapter in her political career, but also reflects the ups and downs and complexities of modern American politics. The book's release on Tuesday will further highlight the book, as readers are eager to learn how Harris viewed her defeat and what she learned from it.
