According to the outlet, the DNC did not send the email, and party email lists can be used for book promotions if they are paid for fairly. Fox News Digital independently confirmed with the DNC that they did not send the email.
Harris spokeswoman Kirsten Allen told Axios that the use of the email list complied with Federal Election Commission rules.
Nevertheless, the move indicates that Harris is leveraging the Democratic base to sell copies of the memoir that is expected to dive into her notably short campaign, which kicked off in summer 2024 after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race following early state primaries.
"It was intense, high-stakes, and deeply personal for me and for so many of you. Since leaving office, I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on those days," Harris said in a video when announcing her book on July 31.

Her long-awaited decision served as an unofficial kickoff to a competitive race to become Gov. Gavin Newsom’s successor, as there is a wide field of Democrats vying for the job.
At the presidential level, numerous names have already been floated on the Democratic side for potential candidates, including Newsom, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore. On the Republican side, Trump indicated earlier this week that Vice President JD Vance could be the front-runner in the field.

"Well, I think most likely. In all fairness, he's the vice president, and I think Marco is also somebody that maybe would get together with JD in some form," the president said on Tuesday.
"I also think we have incredible people, some of the people on the stage right here. "So, it's too early, obviously, to talk about it, but certainly he's doing a great job," he continued. "And he would be probably favored at this point."
