00:00Democrats respond to Kamala's book following interview on The View.
00:05Kamala Harris just reignited a fire her party wanted to forget and it's not going out quietly.
00:10It's been more than six months since Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election.
00:15Harris is making waves with her memoir 107 Days, Reopening Old Wounds.
00:20Her national TV appearances this week showcased her defense of past decisions
00:24and reshaped key moments from her campaign.
00:26Just as Democrats are regrouping, Harris re-emerges, rekindling division and scrutinizing the election's aftermath.
00:34Her media blitz kicked off Monday night with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.
00:38She moved to Good Morning America and then returned to The View,
00:42where her decision not to challenge Joe Biden, now seen as a major misstep, first surfaced.
00:47She told Maddow that her choices were about timing, not weakness.
00:51In her words,
00:52Maybe I was being too cautious.
00:55But caution, it seems, hasn't followed her onto this book tour.
00:59In fact, her own words are fueling a backlash within her own ranks.
01:03Democratic strategists and former staffers question her motives.
01:07Michael Hardaway noted Harris missed the chance to be a critical voice in the resistance
01:10as the book seems unhelpful and divisive.
01:14An advisor to another top Democrat called it a gossip book.
01:17This echoes past frustrations with post-election memoirs like Hillary Clinton's.
01:22Concerns are rising that Democrats are reflecting too much instead of rebuilding.
01:27Harris did take some responsibility, citing many factors for their loss,
01:31but noted we just didn't have enough time.
01:34However, critics argue it's not just her book's content, but its voter reception.
01:39Polls show her favorability dipped since October 2024.
01:42Even David Axelrod said her comeback plan failed.
01:45Others fear she's appearing more like a sore loser.
01:49And then, there's the matter of Biden?
01:51Harris brushed off presidential-run questions, saying,
01:54I'm not focused on that right now.
01:56The party struggles with potential risks.
01:59If Harris fixates on past issues shaping her future,
02:02and the party's becomes challenging,
02:04that's the question no one's ready to answer.
