Kamala Harris Launches 15 City Book Tour This Fall

The former vice president will visit major U.S. cities, London, and Toronto to promote her memoir on the 2024 election, with events supporting independent bookstores and offering VIP experiences.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is stepping back into the national spotlight this fall, embarking on a sweeping 15-city book tour to promote her highly anticipated memoir, "107 Days." The tour, which launches September 24, 2025, in New York City, marks Harris’s first major public appearance circuit since her loss in the 2024 presidential election and comes at a time of renewed public interest in her political journey and future ambitions.

The memoir, set for release on September 23 by Simon & Schuster, promises a candid, behind-the-scenes account of Harris’s whirlwind 2024 presidential campaign. The title, "107 Days," refers specifically to the brief but intense period between then-President Joe Biden’s unexpected withdrawal from the race and Election Day—a window that saw Harris thrust into the Democratic nomination and, ultimately, a dramatic showdown with President Donald Trump.

Harris’s tour itinerary reads like a cross-section of North America’s political and cultural landscape, hitting major cities such as Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Houston, San Francisco, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Chicago, and Miami. Notably, the tour also features international stops in London on October 23 and Toronto on November 16, underlining the global interest in American politics—and in Harris herself. According to The Hill, the tour will conclude at Miami’s Ziff Opera House on November 20, 2025.

Each stop on the tour is designed to be more than just a book signing. Harris will engage in intimate conversations about the campaign, sharing what she saw, what she learned, and her vision for the country’s future. In the words of her publisher Simon & Schuster, "During these special events, Harris will share what she saw, what she learned, and what it will take to move forward." The events are set in theaters and music halls, with partnerships forged with local independent bookstores—an intentional move, according to sources cited by NBC News, to support literary communities and foster more personal connections with attendees.

Tickets for the tour go on sale to the general public on August 22 at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster, with pre-sale options already available through Live Nation using the code RHYTHM. Each general admission ticket includes a copy of "107 Days," while select venues will offer VIP Meet & Greet packages. These premium experiences come with a personal photo opportunity with Harris and a signed copy of the book. As reported by Yellowhammer News, ticket prices start at approximately $80, and all purchases are backed by StubHub’s FanProtect guarantee for those opting for secondary market options.

One of the more intriguing aspects of the tour is its reach into traditionally conservative regions. Harris will make appearances in states like Texas, Alabama, and Tennessee—territories where, as Yellowhammer News noted, she faced steep electoral odds in 2024. Her Alabama stop at the historic Alabama Theatre in Birmingham is scheduled for October 17 at 7 p.m., in a state that went for Trump by nearly 31 points. The bold itinerary suggests Harris is keen on engaging with a broad spectrum of Americans, not just her political base.

In her July announcement, Harris made it clear that this tour is about more than reliving the past. She described the book as "a journal" that would offer readers a raw and honest look at the campaign’s emotional highs and lows. In an interview on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," Harris explained her approach: "I don’t want to go back in the system. I want to travel the country. I want to listen to people, I want to talk with people, and I don’t want it to be transactional, where I’m asking for their vote." This sentiment is echoed in the tour’s deliberate inclusion of "untraditional" markets such as Portland, Oregon, and Durham, North Carolina, as noted by NBC News, as well as the possibility of surprise pop-up visits outside of the formal schedule.

The book itself is expected to provide unprecedented insights into one of the most consequential elections in recent memory. Harris launched her presidential campaign in late July 2024, just days after President Biden bowed out amid mounting pressure from within his own party. Her entry into the race was seen as a jolt of energy for the Democratic base, reinvigorating donors and supporters alike. Yet, despite the initial surge, Harris ultimately lost to Trump by a decisive margin in November, as reported by Nexstar Media and other outlets.

Speculation has swirled around Harris’s political future since her defeat. In July 2025, she announced she would not run for governor of California in 2026, putting to rest persistent rumors about her next move. "I don’t want to go back in the system," she reiterated, signaling a desire to step away from traditional political roles—at least for now. However, as NBC News reported, sources close to Harris suggest she is keeping her options open for a possible presidential run in 2028, a prospect that is sure to keep her squarely in the national conversation.

Harris’s tour also serves a broader purpose: supporting independent bookstores and fostering community engagement. Each event is presented in partnership with a local bookstore, from Barnes & Noble in New York to Book Passage in San Francisco and Quail Ridge Books in Durham. This strategy not only boosts local businesses but also aligns with Harris’s stated goal of connecting with people outside the typical campaign framework.

For many, the tour represents a chance to hear directly from the former vice president about the decisions, challenges, and emotions that defined her historic campaign. It’s not every day that a major political figure offers such a candid debrief—especially one who, as The Washington Post points out, is still very much a part of the evolving American political landscape.

With the release of "107 Days" and the accompanying tour, Kamala Harris is inviting the public to join her on a journey of reflection, learning, and, perhaps, healing. Whether this marks a new chapter in her political life or a temporary pause remains to be seen. What’s clear is that, come fall, all eyes will be on Harris as she shares her story—one city, one stage, and one conversation at a time.
