Kamala Harris just dropped a bombshell excerpt from her forthcoming book that’s got the Beltway buzzing with accusations of betrayal by her own team.
The Daily Caller reported that in a revealing piece published in The Atlantic ahead of her book "107 Days" hitting shelves at the end of September 2025, Harris unloads on the Biden White House for allegedly sabotaging her vice presidential tenure.
Let’s rewind to March 2021, when President Joe Biden tasked Harris with tackling the migration crisis from Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries. A reporter soon dubbed her the “border czar,” a label that stuck like glue despite her protests. It’s a role that put her under a microscope, with every move tracked by a press pool—a first for any vice president.
Harris hit the ground running, conducting roundtables and bilateral meetings with leaders from the Northern Triangle, even securing commitments for $5.2 billion in private investments from companies like Mastercard and Microsoft. But she only visited the U.S.-Mexico border once, on June 25, 2021, touring a processing center in El Paso. The crisis, predictably, didn’t vanish, and critics were quick to pin the ongoing mess on her.
“I shouldered the blame for the porous border,” Harris writes, lamenting a problem that’s stumped administrations on both sides of the aisle. Yet, where was the Biden communications team to highlight her efforts or clarify her actual mandate? Nowhere, apparently, leaving her to twist in the wind of public opinion.
Later in 2021, Harris traveled to France, meeting President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace to mend ties after a tense security pact with Australia and the U.K. She also stopped by the Pasteur Institute, tied to her mother’s cancer research, where she chatted with scientists about applying the scientific method to politics. Media outlets like Fox News pounced, claiming she faked a French accent—a charge she calls “total nonsense.”
“The White House seemed glad to let reporting about my ‘gaffe’ overwhelm the significant thaw in foreign relations I’d achieved,” Harris fumes in her excerpt. If true, that’s a stinging indictment of a team more focused on optics than supporting their own VP. Conservative skeptics might argue she’s playing the victim, but the lack of pushback from Biden’s staff does raise eyebrows.
Then there’s the narrative of chaos in her office, with reports from Politico painting a picture of incompetence and toxicity among staffers. OpenTheBooks noted a staggering 91.5% turnover rate in her first three years. Harris counters that Biden’s inner circle fueled these negative stories, seemingly content to let her take the heat.
“Worse, I often learned that the president’s staff was adding fuel to negative narratives,” she claims. That’s a bold accusation, suggesting a deliberate effort to undermine her. For those wary of establishment games, it’s hard not to wonder if this was less about competence and more about keeping her in check.
Harris also recounts a speech in Selma, Alabama, at a time when Biden’s polling took hits over his Israel policy after Hamas’ attack on October 7, 2023. She reiterated support for Israel’s security while urging Hamas to release hostages and pushing Israel for more aid access. The speech, vetted by the White House, went viral—but not in the way she hoped.
“The West Wing was displeased,” Harris notes, claiming they criticized her for delivering it too well. If that’s accurate, it smacks of petty jealousy rather than strategic concern. A strong VP should be an asset, not a threat, to any administration.
Her broader critique cuts deep: Harris alleges the Biden team operated on a zero-sum mindset, believing her success dimmed the president’s star. “If she’s shining, he’s dimmed,” she summarizes their apparent logic. That’s a damning take on a White House supposedly built on unity.
For conservatives, this saga reinforces a longstanding suspicion of progressive infighting and misplaced priorities. Harris may have a point about being left to fend for herself against unfair attacks, but some might argue she’s deflecting from her own shortcomings on tough issues like the border. Still, the lack of backup from her own side is a glaring misstep.
The book’s full release promises more revelations, but this excerpt alone paints a picture of a vice president caught between relentless scrutiny and an unsupportive administration. Harris’ tenure, from diplomatic trips to domestic challenges, seems marked by missed opportunities—not just hers, but also those of a White House that failed to leverage her potential. For now, her words stand as a cautionary tale about loyalty in politics.
