Former Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized her ties to Hillary Clinton during the launch of her new memoir, 107 Days, in New York City, underscoring a growing divide with former President Joe Biden, as reported by Fox News.

Harris, who was the Democratic presidential nominee after Biden dropped out of the 2024 race, began her national book tour on Wednesday at The Town Hall theater in Manhattan.

“We all hope to be mentored. We all hope to have support from those who come before. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t. And certainly that’s true of politics. Hillary Clinton is one of those people that believes in lifting people up and supporting people,” Harris said.

“And she follows through.”

The memoir, released Tuesday, covers Harris’ time on the 2024 campaign trail following Biden’s July 21 withdrawal from the race, which came amid concerns about his mental fitness. At 300 pages, the book revisits her campaign experiences and includes criticisms of Biden’s leadership.

Harris argued that it was “reckless” for Biden to seek re-election and said his team failed to defend her against negative media coverage during her vice presidency. She also pointed to Biden’s poor debate performance against Donald Trump as a key moment that ended his campaign.

Excerpts from the book released prior to publication drew sharp reactions from former Biden aides, who accused Harris of deflecting blame for her own political shortcomings.

Harris told the New York audience that the memoir was about her journey and efforts to “fight” and “win,” not about attacking Biden.

She also recounted the hours after Biden’s withdrawal. Harris said she was preparing breakfast for her young great-nieces when she received a call from a blocked number, which she recognized as Biden. “Hey Joe, Mr. President,” she recalled saying before Biden informed her he would not run.

Harris said she then contacted Bill and Hillary Clinton directly, describing how both immediately offered to campaign for her.

She included the exchange in her book, writing that Hillary Clinton told her, “We’ll do whatever we can—we’ll jump on a plane, we’ll get on Amtrak. I want to be part of your war council.”

Bill Clinton, according to Harris, added, “Oh my God, I’m so relieved! Send me anywhere. Make this your own campaign.”

During the New York event, Harris also addressed broader Democratic Party issues, voicing support for “rising stars” within the party and reflecting on her failed presidential run.

Outside the venue, pro-Gaza protesters gathered, chanting and accusing her of “setting Palestine on fire” over her handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Harris described the 2024 contest as “the closest election in the 21st century” and one of the tightest in the past 100 years. She rejected claims that her loss showed America was unwilling to elect a woman president.

“For all those pundits who want to say that America is not ready for a woman to be president, I reject that,” Harris said.

Fox News Digital reached out to Hillary Clinton’s office Thursday for comment but had not received a response by press time.
