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.
