Kamala Harris will sit down next week with MSNBC‘s Rachel Maddow for her first news interview since leaving office.

Maddow announced on her show on Monday that the interview will take place on Sept. 22, with Harris live on set for the 9 p.m. ET show. Harris is embarking on a tour for her new book, 107 Days, an account of her truncated presidential election campaign last year.

Harris appeared on CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last month for her first interview, just after she announced the book and her decision not to run for governor of California last year.

An excerpt from Harris’ book ran in The Atlantic last week, in which she wrote that Joe Biden‘s decision to run for reelection in 2024, and remain in the race, was “recklessness,” and that the choice “should have been more than a personal decision.”

What 107 Days Is Revealing

An excerpt published in The Atlantic details Harris’s perspective on some of the major controversies and internal dynamics of her campaign. (The Atlantic)
In particular, Harris describes the decision to allow Joe Biden to run again in 2024 as “recklessness.” She argues that allowing Biden, at 81, to decide on his own (or with limited consultation) whether to run was not just a personal choice. (Reuters)
Harris also reflects on the strain she felt under Biden’s administration—how concerns around his age, fatigue, and performance became increasingly hard to ignore during campaign events, debates, and public scrutiny. (The Atlantic)

Broader Implications & What to Watch

The interview with Rachel Maddow is likely to probe these revelations more deeply, including issues of internal party dynamics, decision-making, and how Harris sees her own role.
Harris’s more direct critique marks a shift in how she speaks about her prior alignment with the Biden campaign. It suggests more openness about tensions and strategic decisions that were previously handled privately. (The Atlantic)
Because 107 Days is being released September 23, 2025, the timing of the interview is strategically close to the memoir’s publication — likely intended to generate wider public attention. (Wikipedia)
