Kamala Harris cancels California stops on book tour

0


Kamala Harris is cutting her stay in California short.

On Tuesday the former presidential candidate pulled out of book tour stops for her memoir “107 Days” in Sacramento, San Diego and Anaheim. The appearances had been scheduled for next month.

Ticketing company Ticketmaster refunded ticket-holders and explained the cancellations of “A Conversation with Kamala Harris” were due to a “scheduling conflict.”

Harris’s last event had been in Oakland on March 3. She remains scheduled for an event in Denver, Colorado on April 2, but her subsequent stops in California on April 4 in Sacramento, April 6 in San Diego, and April 10 in Anaheim have all been shelved.

It’s unclear if they will be rescheduled. All three of the canceled California stops have been nixed from her website.

The California cancellations come as Harris spends taxpayer dollars with California Highway Patrol police officers providing security for her book tour events.

Dozens of California Highway Patrol officers have been plucked off the streets since September to shadow the former vice president as she travels across the country — and sometimes even overseas — KCRA reported.

State officials haven’t disclosed the number of officers assigned to Harris or the total amount of taxpayer dollars spent on her security — but a retired CHP officer said it would be “significant.”

“All I know is it’s a lot, it is a significant amount of money,” Republican Assemblyman Tom Lackey, who spent 28 years as a member of the CHP, told KCRA.

The former vice president previously had four events in California, including two in Los Angeles, one in San Francisco, and the recent stop in Oakland.

She’s currently scheduled for two stops in North Carolina — Greensboro on April 13 and Charlotte on April 14 — along with a stop in Columbia, South Carolina April 16 and Savannah, Georgia on April 17.
