Kamala Harris' Book Rips by Dave Portnoy in Harsh Review

A Harsh Critique of Kamala Harris’ New Book

Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, has made a name for himself with his unfiltered and often controversial takes on politics. Recently, he turned his attention to former Vice President Kamala Harris, criticizing her upcoming book, "107 Days," in no uncertain terms. Portnoy described the book as a fate worse than death, highlighting his tendency to go after politicians from both major parties.

Harris' book is expected to offer an inside look at her 2024 presidential campaign, where she stepped in as a replacement for former President Joe Biden just months before the election. Her campaign was a last-minute effort to challenge Donald Trump, who was the frontrunner at the time. However, the campaign ended in a decisive loss, with Harris losing all seven swing states, the popular vote, and ultimately the White House.

Despite the defeat, Harris' new book has already drawn ridicule, and Portnoy has become one of its most vocal critics. During a recent appearance on Fox Business, it was announced that Barstool Sports will use the book as part of a fantasy football league punishment for the 2025 season. The loser of the game would be required to give a presentation based on their takeaways from the book.

Portnoy joked about the punishment, saying, “Some people say there’s no punishment worse than death, I think this one is!” when asked about the fantasy forfeit by Fox host Stuart Varney.

Kamala Harris’ Decision to Skip the California Governor Race

Harris recently decided not to run for governor of California, which has sparked speculation about her future political plans. Some believe this decision could be a strategic move toward a potential 2028 presidential bid, especially if Donald Trump completes his second, non-consecutive term. Currently, Vice President J.D. Vance is leading the pack for the Republican nomination.

In a heartfelt statement, Harris expressed her love for California, calling it her home and expressing affection for its people and promise. However, she also revealed that after deep reflection, she had decided not to run for governor in this election.

She clarified her immediate future, stating, “For now, my leadership - and public service - will not be in elected office,” but promised to remain active: “I look forward to getting back out and listening to the American people, helping elect Democrats across the nation who will fight fearlessly, and sharing more details in the months ahead about my own plans.”

Speculation About Her Future

The decision not to run for governor has led to much speculation about Harris’ next steps. A close associate revealed that the choice was far from easy, noting that Harris “really grappled with it” and was “very conflicted.” The options she faced included not running for governor, skipping the race to prepare for a 2028 campaign, or ending her work as an elected official.

Another confidant suggested that Harris’ decision might set her up for another presidential campaign or mark the end of her tenure as a public servant. According to NBC, Harris ultimately made the decision on her own, weighing the various possibilities carefully.

Harris’ goal remains clear: “She wants to have the biggest impact that she could possibly have.” Whether that impact comes through another presidential run, continued advocacy, or other forms of public service remains to be seen. For now, her focus is on supporting Democrats across the country and preparing for whatever comes next.
