Harris book ‘on a trajectory’ to be best-selling memoir of year, publisher says from the Hill Judy Kurtz

Former Vice President Kamala Harris’s new book is on track to be the best-selling memoir of 2025, according to its publisher.

“107 Days,” Harris’s account of her short-lived 2024 White House bid that followed then-President Biden’s exit from the presidential race, sold 350,000 copies in its first week, publisher Simon & Schuster said Tuesday.

The total includes sales and preorders across all formats: print books, e-books and audiobooks. 

Harris’s book, in which she wrote that Biden’s initial decision to run for reelection amounted to “recklessness,” hit shelves in the U.S. on Sept. 23. 

“These sales put ‘107 Days’ on a trajectory to be the best-selling memoir published in 2025,” the publishing house announced in a news release, saying it has ordered a fifth printing of the book.

“In addition to being one of the most interesting books ever written about the experience of running for president of the United States, the success of ‘107 Days’ proves what a galvanizing and inspiring cultural figure Kamala Harris is,” Simon & Schuster President and CEO Jonathan Karp said.

Karp noted that the only memoirs that bested Harris in terms of first week sales since 2023 were about mega-famous figures, including Taylor Swift, Britney Spears and Prince Harry.
