Former Vice President Kamala Harris lost big in the 2024 election, and there's no doubt that she has bad blood -- both ways -- with many members of the Democratic Party.

However, nobody could have guessed how bad that blood was until excerpts from her upcoming tell-all memoir were picked up by certain media outlets, and there are plenty of Democratic operatives who can't believe Harris said what she said.

According to Politico, many Democrats were left "befuddled" by Harris' new memoir, which some describe more as a tell-all regarding her vice presidency and short-lived presidential campaign.

Some of the Democrats who have commented on her new book are not only confused, but angry, which some believe could hinder any future ambitions she has of running for high office.

What's going on?

Her book isn't even published yet, and the excerpts alone have already ruffled major feathers within the ranks of her party.

Politico noted:

Not even officially released, Harris’ account “107 Days” was immediately met with pushback from several likely 2028 contenders, including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

At least 15 Dem operatives interviewed around the country are at a loss as far as what Harris included in the book. Much of the book, at least the parts we know, include digs at fellow Democrats and complaints about her presidential campaign.

David Axelrod, the longtime senior adviser to former President Barack Obama, was one of the first operatives to speak his mind on the former vice president's upcoming book.

"If there’s a political strategy here, it’s a bad one. There’s an awful lot of grievances and finger-pointing that really doesn’t serve a political agenda," Axelrod said.

Politico noted:

The 300-page memoir, written as a chronological log of her truncated campaign, reads alternately as a spirited defense of her record, a mea culpa for her shortcomings as a candidate and a dishy tell-all on fellow Democrats.

"Intentional"

Some, like Pete Giangreco, a veteran Democratic consultant based in the Midwest, believe that Harris new exactly what she was getting into when deciding to publish the book.

When you write a book like this, it’s intentional," Giangreco said.

He added, "The question is about intent now. Is she settling scores because she’s not running again, or is this her catharsis to assign blame somewhere else so she can say, ‘Give me another chance’?"

It'll be interesting to see what else is revealed in the book once it's on store shelves.
