As speculation rises about her potential run \u200bfor \u200cthe presidency in 2028 or\u2064 for California governor \u2064in 2026, literary agency president Keith Urbahn suggests that Harris could secure the largest book deal ever for a vice president. \u200cHarris has authored three previous books and\u2062 received considerable advances \u2064for them. If\u2063 she chooses to write about her 2024 presidential campaign, including President Biden&#8217;s withdrawal, it could result in a much larger advance and serve as a strategic move to redefine \u2063her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/family-members-of-nursing-home-victims-condemn-n-y-gov-cuomo\/\" title=\"Family members of nursing home victims condemn N.Y.

Reports indicate she \u200dcould \u200dearn around $20 million for her next literary endeavor.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Kamala Harris poised for massive book deal after election loss<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1936092\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Kamala Harris&rsquo;s<\/a> first move out of office is reportedly likely to involve a book deal as she weathers speculation that she will run for president again in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2028-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">2028<\/a> or for governor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">California<\/a> in 2026.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;Kamala Harris is poised to land the biggest book deal of any vice president in history,&rdquo; Keith Urbahn, president and co-founder of the literary agency Javelin, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/kamala-harris\/kamala-harris-potential-book-rcna187755\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">told<\/a> NBC News. &ldquo;But the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-turns-the-tables-on-abc-reporter-who-smeared-him-in-first-question-of-black-journalists-event\/\" title=\"Trump Turns the Tables on ABC Reporter Who Smeared Him in First Question of Black Journalists Event\">real question isn&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t the advance &mdash; it&rsquo;s whether the book can redefine her for 2028.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Harris has previously written three books: <em>Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor&rsquo;s Plan to Make Us Safer<\/em> in 2009, <em>The Truths We Hold: An American Journey<\/em> in 2019, and children&rsquo;s book <em>Superheroes Are Everywhere<\/em>, also in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>She received a combined $556,000 for her most recent memoir and children&rsquo;s book, while her first book was written right before her 2010 campaign for California attorney general.<\/p>\n<p>If Harris were to write another book chronicling her 107-day 2024 presidential run, possibly including President Joe Biden&rsquo;s withdrawal from the race, it would prompt a book advance far larger than anything she has received before.<\/p>\n<p>It could also present an opportunity for her to set the tone for a future presidential run.
