Kamala Harris brands Trump a 'con man' after revealing surprising comments he made to her in private

Kamala Harris hasn't held back in her new political memoir.

Harris was Joe Biden's successor when he withdrew his presidential candidacy in June 2024 and she became Donald Trump's key opponent.

It was a close race between the pair but ultimately it was Trump who proved successful. He won the national popular vote with a plurality of 49.8 percent.

During their respective campaigns, Harris and Trump wasted no time in slating each other in public. At one stage, the now-president said his competitor was 'mentally impaired'.

And the slinging match between the pair didn't stop once Trump won and Harris has made a series of comments about the 79-year-old in her new memoir 107 Days.

In the book, which hit shelves yesterday (September 23), Harris recounted a conversation she had with Trump after the second assassination attempt against him.

Ryan Routh has been found guilty of plotting to kill the president. Routh had pleaded not guilty to the charges he was facing, but it took the jury just 2.5 hours of deliberation to convict him of all five of them; one being attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate.

He may now face life behind bars and will be sentenced on December 18, says BBC News.

Harris and Trump spoke on the phone after the September 2024 incident and, while Trump made some brutal remarks about Harris in public, he seemingly had nothing but nice things to say to her in private.

He allegedly said: "How do I say bad things about you now? I'm going to tone it down. I will. You're going to see."

Trump also said that his daughter Ivanka was a 'big fan' of Harris' — but the former vice president didn't buy into his sweet talking.

"He’s a con man. He’s really good at it," Harris penned, per The Guardian.

Elsewhere in the book, she takes aim at Biden and branded his decision to run for a second term as 'reckless'.

Discussing the fact she didn't advise Biden not to run again, Harris wrote: "Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness."

She continued: "The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision."
