Tickets are on sale for the next leg of the Kamala Harris tour. “In 2026, the 107 Days book tour will be back on the road. I’ll see you out there,” the former vice president announced recently on X. The “107 Days” title of her memoir refers to the length of her presidential campaign. Since it wasn’t until July 2024 that she and other senior Democrats were forced to acknowledge that Joe Biden was unfit to campaign, that left only a relatively brief period for the Harris-Trump contest. Some have suggested that the abbreviated nature of the campaign made Ms. Harris’s job especially challenging,
though polling suggests she would have benefited from a much shorter race. Now there’s more evidence that a longer campaign would not have been kind to the Democratic ticket. That’s because in the whirlwind of 2024, the press largely ignored that the back half of the ticket, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, was presiding over a state government afflicted with stunning levels of fraud. A year later, it’s become impossible to ignore. “Walz said he is accountable for fraud that occurred in state programs during his administration,” report Jeremiah Jacobsen and Danny Spewak for NBC affiliate KARE-TV from St. Paul. They note: “This is on my watch. I am accountable for this,” Walz told reporters at a press conference Friday. “And more importantly, I am the one that will fix it.” There’s little argument that Mr. Walz is accountable given that he’s been governor for nearly seven years. As for the claim that he’s the one to fix it, his history argues for skepticism. Back in 2022, Steve Karnowski reported for the Associated Press:
