It has been revealed that Vice President Kamala Harris did not rake in the cash from her 2019 memoir, earning a measly $234 in royalties. This lackluster performance reflects poorly on Harris, who was already a prominent figure in Democratic politics at the time of the book’s release. While Harris positioned herself as a champion of social justice in “The Truths We Hold,” the book failed to resonate with the American public, barely making a blip in the literary world.
Harris also tried her hand at children’s writing with “Superheroes Are Everywhere,” which fared slightly better, bringing in $8,488. The book aimed to inspire young readers to see the superhero potential within themselves, a noble sentiment but one that did not translate into financial success for Harris. These underwhelming earnings stand in stark contrast to her earlier work, “Smart on Crime,” a policy book from 2009 that continues to generate substantial income for the Vice President.
Despite her literary endeavors, Harris’s popularity seems to be on the decline. Recent polling indicates that a majority of voters disapprove of her performance as Vice President, suggesting that her attempts to connect with the American people through writing have fallen flat. In a political climate where public perception is crucial, Harris’s financial disclosures underscore the disconnect between her rhetoric and reality.

From a conservative perspective, Harris’s lackluster book sales highlight the failure of her far-left agenda to resonate with everyday Americans. Her emphasis on social justice and progressive policies may cater to a vocal minority, but it appears that the broader public is not buying into her narrative. As conservatives, we believe in individual empowerment and self-reliance, values that seem to be at odds with Harris’s narrative of government intervention and redistribution. Ultimately, Harris’s literary missteps serve as a cautionary tale about the limitations of progressive ideology in a country founded on conservative principles.
