Authorities have not disclosed the total security bill or the number of officers assigned,and Harris\u2019s protection after leaving office was reportedly cut by President Trump last September. Republican critics, including gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton and Assemblyman Tom Lackey, have argued that taxpayer funds should not cover security and have called for transparency and, in Hilton\u2019s view, cancellation of the protection. The issue has become a point of political debate over whether such security is warranted and who should bear the cost.  <\/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\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?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<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Days after it was revealed that California Highway Patrol officers have been providing security for former Vice President Kamala Harris on her book tour, even outside the state, Harris has canceled three events in California.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, events promoting her &ldquo;107 Days&rdquo;

Ticketmaster listings for \u201cA Conversation with Kamala Harris,\u201d part of the 107 Days book tour, in Sacramento, Anaheim, and San Diego showed as canceled, with Ticketmaster saying the cancellations were due to a scheduling conflict and promising refunds to buyers. Her last event occurred on March 3 in Oakland. Tickets remain available for April events in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A KCRA report noted that California taxpayers were footing security costs for Harris wherever she went, including out-of-state appearances. It said dozens of California Highway Patrol officers were traveling with her for all of the tour appearances, but state officials would not disclose the total cost or the number of officers assigned. Harris has security protection since leaving office, though President Donald Trump canceled that protection in September.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Representatives for Harris did not respond to questions about the state-funded security.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton said he would end the protection if elected, calling it a \u201ccorrupt freebie\u201d and arguing that Harris\u2019s book tour appears to be part of her presidential campaign. He suggested donors should pay for security, not California taxpayers who already face high taxes. GOP Assemblyman Tom Lackey, a former CHP member, said the security detail likely involves multiple officers and that Harris deserves protection given rising political rhetoric, but he also said the public deserves transparency about costs and questioned whether the arrangement should continue. He noted the environment is unstable and that protection is expensive, while also saying the need for discussion about whether it should be funded by taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like, I can tailor this to a shorter summary or expand it into a more detailed version<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2578845,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Kamala-Harris-book-tour-cancelled.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[72732,50410,72986,4133,5894],"class_list":["post-2578844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-book-tour-2","tag-controversy-2","tag-kamala-harris-2","tag-news","tag-politics"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Kamala-Harris-book-tour-cancelled.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2578844"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578844\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2578848,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578844\/revisions\/2578848"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2578845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2578844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2578844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2578844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
