Kamala Harris Says Trump Voters Feel Lied To — But Is Anyone Listening?

So, Kamala Harris is back in the spotlight. Not with a new political role, mind you, but promoting her memoir 107 Days — the book that chronicles her brief, ill-fated 2024 presidential bid. And in an interview with former CNN anchor Don Lemon, she dropped a claim that’s bound to raise some eyebrows: she says that some Trump voters are complaining to her that they feel “lied to” by the president.

Yes, Kamala Harris, the twice-failed Democratic presidential candidate, is asserting that Trump supporters are reaching out to her directly — telling her they regret backing him over issues like immigration and the economy. But here’s the kicker: she hasn’t offered any concrete evidence to back up these conversations.

Let’s unpack this, because there’s more than meets the eye.

Harris’ Take on Trump Voters

According to Harris, many voters believed Trump would focus on “criminals” when it came to immigration enforcement. Instead, she claims, the administration’s policies have targeted what she describes as “hardworking people.” Her phrasing was dramatic:

“I’ve talked to so many people who say, people who voted for Trump…‘Well, we thought he was just going to go after what he said were criminals, but he’s going after hardworking people.’ And they feel lied to.”

Funny enough, the idea of Trump voters reaching out to Harris personally seems… ambitious. She made these comments in Chicago, promoting 107 Days, which, by the way, refers to the 107 days she had to mount her campaign after Joe Biden stepped aside and endorsed her.

Selling Books and Criticizing Trump — A Classic Move

Here’s where it gets interesting. Harris’ book tour isn’t just about recounting a political journey. It’s a clear platform to sharpen attacks on Trump while generating buzz for her memoir. She repeatedly described Trump as dishonest, accusing him of corruption, incompetence, and “weaponizing the rule of law.” Lemon, who left CNN amid a fair share of controversies, praised Harris during the interview — perhaps adding a layer of credibility to her claims, but also raising questions about objectivity.

She even plugged a George Soros-funded movement called No Kings, framing it as a way for Americans to “activate” against Trump. Yes, violent leftism was part of the talking points — Harris wasn’t shy about it. But she also threw in a rare nod to Trump’s team: they deserve some credit for helping secure the release of Israeli hostages from Hamas. Not Trump personally, mind you, but the “team.”

Is Anyone Buying This?

Critics have been skeptical. Reviews of 107 Days range from lukewarm to negative, pointing out Harris’ tendency to blame others for her 2024 defeat. Some political analysts suggest this claim about Trump voters could be more about shaping her public image than reflecting reality. After all, no one has confirmed that voters are actually reaching out to Harris directly.

And let’s face it: political memoirs are often a mix of storytelling, self-justification, and strategic messaging. Harris’ narrative paints Trump as deceitful and positions herself as a voice for voters who feel misled. Whether or not this resonates outside her immediate audience is another story.

Broader Implications

This is more than just a book promotion. Harris’ claims tap into ongoing national debates about trust in government, immigration policy, and the economy. The idea that voters feel lied to — regardless of whether Harris has actually spoken with them — feeds into narratives about political accountability.

Funny enough, her approach is a mix of critique and subtle praise. She doesn’t shy away from calling out Trump, but she acknowledges positive actions when they happen. That balancing act might be an attempt to appear fair-minded while still appealing to her core base.

A Personal Observation

I can’t help but notice how predictable this feels in the modern political landscape. Memoirs, interviews, social media posts — they’re all vehicles for shaping perception. Harris is doing what many politicians do: reinforce a narrative that positions her as both informed and morally on the “right side” of history, while also keeping her name in the headlines.

And let’s be honest, claiming that voters from the other side are coming to you personally? That’s a bold move. It’s almost like saying, “I’m so influential, even my political opponents are confessing to me.”

Bottom Line

Whether Trump voters are really calling Kamala Harris to complain, or whether this is part of a broader media strategy, one thing is clear: Harris is using her memoir and interviews to control the conversation. She’s blending critique, anecdote, and self-promotion in a way that’s very much of our current political moment.

At the end of the day, claims like these are likely to spark debate — but whether they reflect reality, or just the narrative Harris wants to sell, is up for interpretation.
