Democrats express frustrations with Harris for picking fights in upcoming book
Democrats are frustrated with former Vice President Kamala Harris, arguing her new book is picking fights and causing divisions at the worst possible time for the party.
They say Harris’s memoir, "107 Days," which will be out publicly Tuesday, comes at a time when the party is attempting to find its way out of the wilderness after a devastating election loss nearly a year ago.
The book, some Democrats say, is exacerbating the tension that has been plaguing Democrats.
“Salt, meet wound,” one Democratic strategist put it. “Couldn't come at a worse time for our party.
“Let's keep rehashing everything, it’s really good for us,” the strategist said sarcastically. “Let's pick new fights. Why not?”
Garry South, a Democratic strategist based in Harris’s home state of California, said while he hadn’t read the book, the excerpts “show pretty clearly that she came out with arms flailing and guns blazing, blaming everyone but herself for her loss.”
“It is a curiously negative and ungracious tome for someone who reportedly thinks she can run again in 2028,” South added.
Even before the book’s release, some excerpts were already causing friction among the party’s top principals.
