Kamala Harris, the current Vice President of the United States, has a track record that is far from impressive.
Her political career is marked by two unsuccessful presidential campaigns, a lackluster term as Vice President, and a central role in what many consider one of the most significant political cover-ups in U.S history - the alleged mental decline of President Joe Biden.
According to RedState, despite her underwhelming performance, Harris is reportedly on the brink of securing a book deal. This lucrative opportunity would not only ensure her continued access to the luxuries of private air travel but might also enable her to acquire a property in the exclusive Martha's Vineyard, a favorite retreat of former President Barack Obama.
In the world of Washington D.C., it seems failure can indeed be rewarding. Harris, who reportedly spent a record $1.5 billion on her unsuccessful presidential campaign, is now set to receive a substantial financial return. Top publishers are allegedly prepared to offer the Vice President an advance of up to $20 million for an insider's account of President Biden's White House and presidential campaign.
While some might be intrigued by the prospect of uncovering the alleged corruption within the Biden-Harris administration, many conservatives are skeptical about the value of such a book. The economic impact of the administration's policies has already been felt by many, with increased costs for everyday essentials such as groceries, insurance, and energy.
If Harris does secure this deal, she will join a long list of politicians who have profited from the publishing industry after leaving office. Notably, Barack and Michelle Obama received a reported $65 million advance from Penguin Random House in 2017, while Bill Clinton secured a $10 million advance in 2001.
An executive at a leading liberal-leaning publishing house in New York told DailyMail.com, "More than anyone in the Biden White House, Kamala as the number two, and then as Joe Biden's campaign successor after he dropped out of the race, knows all the secrets, knows where all the skeletons are buried. She was there from the beginning of the administration and participated in all the presidential decisions, right or wrong. She's the one who can tell the consummate story."
The potential financial gain for Harris could be even greater if Netflix or Hollywood studios decide to get involved. However, critics argue that the interest in Harris's book is not about her personal story, but rather the inside information on the Biden administration. Publishers are reportedly more interested in uncovering who was truly in control of the country, the critical campaign decisions, and the extent of President Biden's alleged incapacitation.
The prospect of Harris's book deal has drawn comparisons to the substantial payouts received by Bill and Hillary Clinton for their books, as well as the lucrative deals secured by the Obamas and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with Netflix.
The challenge for Harris now is to find a capable ghostwriter. Critics argue that her verbose and often confusing speeches during her campaign suggest she may struggle to produce a coherent and engaging book on her own.
