Former Vice President Kamala Harris concluded her '107 Days' book tour with an appearance in Savannah, Georgia, where she discussed her new memoir, the war with Iran, and the political stakes ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Harris criticized former President Trump's foreign policy and urged attendees to support Senator Jon Ossoff's reelection bid.

Why it matters

Harris' Savannah stop was the final event of a months-long book tour that spanned the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Her comments on foreign policy, Trump, and the upcoming midterms provide insight into the Democratic Party's messaging and priorities as they aim to narrow the Republican majority in Congress.

The details

Speaking at the Johnny Mercer Theatre, Harris said the book, which chronicles the 107 days between former President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 race and Election Day, was partly intended to give readers a clearer view of the campaign. She also criticized Trump's foreign policy, saying he had 'thumbed his nose' at U.S. international relationships. Discussing the war with Iran, Harris called Russia the 'winner' of the conflict, stating that Trump has had to lift sanctions on Russia 'because there has been a restriction on the flow of oil... which means Russia is making more money.' Harris also urged attendees to support Sen. Jon Ossoff, the Georgia Democrat seeking reelection.
