Former Vice President Kamala Harris opens up in her new memoir, 107 Days, about the high-stakes decisions of the 2024 Democratic presidential campaign. Harris reveals that Pete Buttigieg was her first choice for vice president but ultimately ruled him out, fearing Americans might not be ready for a ticket featuring a Black woman and a gay man. She described Buttigieg as "an ideal partner — if I were a straight white man." Buttigieg reacted with surprise, emphasising voters judge politicians on their work, not identity. Harris also reflects on President Joe Biden's re-election bid, calling it "reckless," while acknowledging her own caution in navigating the campaign.
