US Vice President Kamala Harris has become the target of widespread online mockery after announcing plans to release a memoir reflecting on her ill-fated 2020 presidential campaign.
Timing Raises Eyebrows
The announcement comes at a particularly sensitive moment for Harris, whose approval ratings have slumped in recent months. Political analysts suggest the book project may be an attempt to reshape her public image ahead of potential future political ambitions.
Social Media Erupts
Twitter users were quick to lampoon the news, with many questioning why anyone would want to read about a campaign that folded before the first primary votes were cast. "This has to be a joke," wrote one prominent conservative commentator. "She dropped out before Iowa and now wants to cash in on that failure?"
Publisher's Gamble
The yet-untitled book will be published by a major New York house, though industry insiders express doubts about its commercial prospects. "Political memoirs typically sell when there's either significant achievement or scandal to discuss," noted one publishing executive. "This seems to fall awkwardly between the two."
White House Response
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment on whether Harris would use official time to work on the project, stating only that "the Vice President remains focused on her duties." The book is expected to hit shelves in late 2024 - potentially coinciding with the next presidential election cycle.
