The nationโ€™s capital will be among the featured stops on Kamala Harrisโ€™ 15-city book tour as part of the release of her new memoir โ€œ107 Days.โ€ย 

The Warner Theatre, in partnership with Mahogany Books, will host Harris on Oct. 9 as she shares her reflections on her historic but brief presidential campaign.

The book, set for release on Sept. 23, details Harrisโ€™ experience as the first Black woman to lead a major-party presidential ticket. She describes the challenges and lessons learned during what she has called โ€œthe shortest presidential campaign in modern history.โ€

โ€œSince leaving office, Iโ€™ve spent a lot of time reflecting on those days, and with candor and reflection, Iโ€™ve written a behind-the-scenes account of that journey,โ€ Harris said. โ€œI believe thereโ€™s value in sharing what I saw, what I learned, and what it will take to move forward.โ€

The tour will stretch across the United States, Canada, and England, with conversations centered not only on her campaign but also on what she describes as โ€œhow we collectively chart a blueprint that sets an alternative vision for our country now.โ€ Each ticket includes a copy of โ€œ107 Days,โ€ with premium packages offering a signed edition and a photo opportunity.

Stops on the tour begin in New York on Sept. 24 and will include Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Houston, San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago, Durham, Birmingham, London, Portland, Toronto, Nashville, and Miami before concluding in late November.

โ€œ107 Days may have been the shortest campaign, but the lessons and the movement are built to last,โ€ social media user Theopilus M commented on Harrisโ€™ post on X, formerly known as Twitter. โ€œLooking forward to hearing the stories and what comes next.โ€

Tickets go on sale today through 107daysbook.com.
