Rachel Maddow Reflects on Missed Opportunity to Challenge Kamala Harris on '107 Days' Memoir

Rachel Maddow, host of MS NOW, expressed regret over not pressing former Vice President Kamala Harris more during a September interview about Harris's memoir, '107 Days.' Maddow shared her thoughts on the 'At Our Table' podcast with former Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison, noting that Harris was more candid off-camera. Maddow wished she had encouraged Harris to be more open during the interview, particularly regarding Harris's decision-making process in the 2024 presidential campaign. The interview touched on Harris's choice not to select former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as a running mate, a decision Harris attributed to the potential risks of having a gay man on the ticket in a highly contested election against President Trump. Harris's memoir also mentioned her reservations about Democratic Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as a potential running mate, which Shapiro has publicly disputed.

The statement has sparked discussions about the administration's approach to economic challenges and consumer spending during the holiday season. Leavitt maintained that the economy has improved under President Trump's leadership, despite mixed public perceptions.

The Intergovernmental Operations Committee is also seeking documents concerning charter flights arranged for the Governor's Office. The subpoenas target the Pennsylvania State Police, the local township's open records officer, and the charter flight company, with a compliance deadline set for January 16, 2026. The governor's spokesperson has labeled the move as a 'partisan attack,' asserting that the administration has already provided substantial information regarding the security improvements, which were recommended after a thorough review by security experts.
