Former Vice President Kamala Harris's memoir title proved a challenge for contestants on a recent episode of Jeopardy!, who were unable to name the book reflecting on her 2024 presidential campaign.
The clue presented to the contestants read: "The title of this 2025 memoir by Kamala Harris refers to how long she had to launch and run her 2024 presidential campaign." The correct answer, "107 Days," went unclaimed, leading to an awkward pause before host Ken Jennings provided it with a tight smile.
The on-air moment comes as Harris is reportedly considering another White House run in 2028, despite some within the Democratic Party urging her to abstain from the race. Earlier in August, Harris signaled potential campaign ambitions by addressing a policy platform that included revisiting the Electoral College, expanding the Supreme Court, and granting statehood to Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. at the National Urban League Conference.
While some early polls suggest Harris could be a contender for the 2028 Democratic nomination, her standing within the party has faced recent setbacks. In Alaska, aspiring U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola distanced herself from an endorsement email sent by Harris, intended to boost Peltola's campaign for one of the state's Senate seats in the upcoming midterm elections. A spokesperson for Peltola stated that she was not seeking endorsements from outside Alaska and did not approve the message that suggested Harris's support could help secure the Senate majority for Democrats.
Harris lost Alaska by 13 points in the 2024 presidential election. Rebecca Himschoot, an Alaska state lawmaker, characterized Harris's endorsement of Peltola as "really dumb," suggesting Harris was attempting to benefit from Peltola's campaign without having a clear candidacy of her own and given her previous poor performance in the state.
Reports indicate Harris has been privately hinting at a 2028 presidential bid, but voter sentiment appears divided. A Quantus Insights poll released on August 28 placed Harris fourth among potential Democratic candidates with 8 percent support, trailing Pete Buttigieg (26 percent) and Jon Ossoff (21 percent). Conversely, a McLaughlin and Associates poll from August 18 showed Harris leading the field with 29 percent, ahead of Gavin Newsom (16 percent), Buttigieg (10 percent), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (9 percent).
