Kamala Harris’s campaign memoir is probably the last time you’re going to hear from the former vice president in a significant way. In July, she announced that she’s not interested in running for governor of California, and she’s a supremely unlikely choice to be the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee.

Harris is a strangely fascinating figure in our modern politics. Just about everything she did from the start of her political career until about mid-2019 worked; she never lost a race. She seemed to have been engineered in a lab to thrill Bay Area progressive donors. And then, in the July 31, 2019, presidential debate, while discussing Harris’s record as a prosecutor, Tulsi Gabbard gutted her like a fish. Since then, and despite Biden’s selecting her as his running mate for his successful 2020 presidential bid, Harris has kept tripping over her own feet.
