In an excerpt from her new book, "107 Days," Vice President Kamala Harris reveals that Pete Buttigieg was her first choice for running mate in 2024. However, she ultimately decided against it, citing concerns that the pairing of two openly gay men would be too risky for the American electorate, considering she was already a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Harris chose Tim Walz instead, but they ultimately lost the election to Trump and Vance. The book, detailing her brief presidential campaign, is set for release next week.
