Kamala Harris’ book tour stop in Chicago was interrupted several times on Saturday afternoon as security removed multiple protesters during her appearance promoting her new memoir, “107 Days.”

The event, held at a downtown venue, featured Harris in conversation with journalist Michele Norris.

Kamala Harris’s book tour in Chicago yesterday was interrupted several times by protesters—so much so that she had to cut it short.

According to attendees, the first disruption occurred when a woman began shouting from the audience during the discussion, prompting members of the crowd to respond with shouts of “get her out.”

Security personnel quickly escorted the woman from the room as Harris and Norris paused briefly before continuing.

Footage from the event captured at least two additional interruptions. In one instance, a man reportedly shouted about genocide before being removed by security officers.

The motivations of the individuals involved in the disruptions were not immediately clear.

After the second incident, Norris addressed the crowd directly, saying, “We encourage people to use their voices, but we want them to show respect for this woman.”

Harris followed with a lighthearted remark, saying, “And please pronounce my name correctly…” drawing laughter from parts of the crowd before resuming the conversation.

The disruptions marked the latest in a series of protests that have followed Harris’ national book tour since its launch in late September.

The tour, organized to promote her memoir “107 Days,” has included stops in several major cities and has been met with both enthusiastic supporters and vocal critics.

The book recounts Harris’ 107-day campaign for the presidency in 2024 following Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race.

It provides a behind-the-scenes account of her campaign operations, internal staff challenges, and key political decisions made during that period.

Harris has described the memoir as a reflection on her rapid presidential bid and a look into what she called “a defining period of political change.”

However, critics have questioned both the content and timing of its release, suggesting it has reopened divisions within the Democratic Party less than a year after her campaign ended.

An advisor to a potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate told Politico, “At a time when people are looking for a vision and leadership… and want to see leaders rise to the level of threat facing the country, it’s pretty crazy she chose to write a gossip book that prioritizes the pettiness of her politics.”

The advisor added, “It’s embarrassing for her, and for all Democrats, considering she was the leader of the party less than a year ago.”

Former CNN journalist Chris Cillizza also criticized Harris’ recent media tour on his Substack newsletter, writing, “Harris’ recent media tour to tout her memoir — ‘107 Days’ — has reminded me of something I think I have long known: She is simply not a very good politician. And she hasn’t gotten much better over her decades in the business.”

Cillizza expanded on those comments in a post on X, writing that Harris’ reemergence on the national stage “reminded me she’s not good on her feet” and that “she speaks in word salads.”

Democratic strategist Gary South also questioned the decision to publish the memoir so soon after the 2024 election.

In an interview with The Hill, South said the tone of the book appeared combative. “She came out with arms flailing and guns blazing, blaming everyone but herself for her loss,” he said.

“It is a curiously negative and ungracious tome for someone who reportedly thinks she can run again in 2028.”

Despite the criticism and repeated disruptions, Harris’ team has indicated that her book tour will continue as scheduled, with future stops planned in several major cities across the United States.
