LOS ANGELES - Just a day after announcing she would not run for governor of California in 2026, former Vice President Kamala Harris revealed she is releasing a memoir about her historic presidential run.

The memoir will be Harris's second book; her first, "The Truths We Hold: An American Journey," was published in 2019 by Penguin Books.

What they're saying:

In a video announcement, Harris said, "107 days traveling the country, fighting for our future — the shortest presidential campaign in modern history. Since leaving office, i’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on those days and with candor and reflection, i’ve written a behind-the-scenes account of that journey. I believe there’s value in sharing what i saw, what i learned, and what it will take to move forward."

Simon & Schuster CEO Jonathan Karp, in a statement, called the book "one of the best works of political nonfiction Simon & Schuster has ever published" and "an eyewitness contribution to history and an extraordinary story." 

He said Harris "addresses everything we would want her to address" in the book, though he did not provide specifics.

The backstory:

Harris’s campaign ended after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race last July following a debate performance. She went on to lose the general election to Donald Trump. 

Harris, who would have been the first woman and first woman of color to become president, recently announced she would not be running for California governor in 2026.
