What was Kamala really trying to say?

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has finally released her much-hyped campaign memoir, 107 Days, but a surprising discovery is raising eyebrows across the political world: Michelle Obama is barely mentioned.

In a 300-page book covering Harris’ unprecedented 2024 presidential run, Fox News Digital found that Michelle’s name appears only three times. Even more shocking, the references are impersonal — despite Michelle’s very public support of Harris during the campaign.

This glaring omission has many asking: Is there tension between Harris and the Obamas that Democrats don’t want voters to see?


Sparse Mentions of Michelle Obama

Two of the three mentions of Michelle Obama focus on the Obamas’ delayed endorsement after Joe Biden abruptly dropped out of the 2024 race.

Harris recounts a July 2024 conversation with Barack Obama, where he told her:

“Michelle and I are supportive but not going to put a finger on the scale right now. Let Joe have his moment. Think through timing.”

The Obamas finally endorsed Harris on July 26, 2024, releasing a slickly produced video that quickly went viral.

The third and final mention of Michelle comes when Harris recalls her husband, Doug Emhoff, being scheduled to speak at the Democratic National Convention the same night as Barack and Michelle Obama.

“Barack and Michelle. You three are the prime-time package,” planners told Emhoff.

Fox News Digital confirmed there were no other personal references to Michelle Obama anywhere in the book.


Michelle Obama’s Public Praise

The omission is striking because Michelle Obama was one of Harris’ loudest public cheerleaders during the campaign.

At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Michelle delivered a glowing speech:

“My girl, Kamala Harris, is more than ready for this moment,” she declared. “She is one of the most qualified people ever to seek the office of the presidency. Her story is your story, my story, and the story of Americans fighting for a better life.”

Michelle also campaigned heavily for Harris, appearing at rallies in key battleground states like Michigan.


Other First Ladies Get More Attention

Harris’ silence on Michelle becomes even more glaring when compared to how she writes about other political figures:

  • Hillary Clinton: Mentioned 14 times, including personal anecdotes.
  • Jill Biden: Mentioned 5 times, with stories and behind-the-scenes observations.
  • Barack Obama: Mentioned 9 times, mostly about strategy and past elections.
  • Melania Trump & Laura Bush: Completely left out of the book.

This raises a key question: Why did Harris choose to downplay Michelle Obama, one of the most popular Democrats alive today?


Signs of Democrat Infighting?

Michelle Obama’s limited presence in the memoir could be a sign of deep divisions within the Democratic Party. While Michelle publicly supported Harris, insiders speculate there may have been private disagreements about strategy and leadership.

Some political analysts believe Harris may be distancing herself from the Obama legacy to carve out her own political brand ahead of a potential 2028 presidential run.

Neither Harris’ team nor Michelle Obama’s office responded to Fox News’ requests for comment.


Why It Matters

For conservatives, this drama is a reminder of the chaos inside the Democratic Party. While Democrats present a united front in public, Harris’ book suggests serious cracks beneath the surface.

The omission of Michelle Obama — while Hillary Clinton and Jill Biden are featured prominently — may reveal backroom power struggles that shaped the 2024 election and could influence the party’s future.


Bottom Line

Kamala Harris’ memoir was supposed to cement her political legacy. Instead, it’s fueling questions about her relationship with Michelle Obama and exposing the inner turmoil of the Democratic Party.

As Harris positions herself for the next chapter of her career, one thing is clear: the battle for control of the party is far from over.
