Pennsylvania’s Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro is publicly torching failed 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris after learning what she wrote about him in her new memoir.
The governor argues that the former vice president’s comments are flat-out false and designed to protect her political image.
Shapiro, once considered a potential running mate for Harris, erupted when The Atlantic informed him of the passages in Harris’s book “107 Days.”
Harris claims Shapiro was overbearing, suggesting he expected near-co-president authority if they won the election.
According to Harris, Shapiro had “mused that he would want to be in the room for every decision.”
She writes that this prompted her to remind him that “a vice president is not a co-president.”
Harris also claims to have questioned whether Shapiro “would be unable to settle for a role as number two and that it would wear on our partnership.”
“Complete and Utter Bullsh*t”
Shapiro appeared stunned during the interview when he first heard her descriptions.
“I did ask a bunch of questions,” he said.
“Wouldn’t you ask questions if someone was talking to you about forming a partnership and working together?”
But when told Harris also wrote that he asked how many bedrooms were in the vice-presidential residence and whether the Smithsonian might loan Pennsylvania art for the home, Shapiro unloaded.
“That’s complete and utter bullsh*t,” Shapiro said.
“I can tell you that her accounts are just blatant lies.”
Asked if he felt betrayed, Shapiro didn’t back down:
“I mean, she’s trying to sell books and cover her a*s,” he said.
“I shouldn’t say ‘cover her a*s.’
“I think that’s not appropriate …
“She’s trying to sell books. Period.”
Harris’s Political Collapse Still Looms Large
Harris performed disastrously in her 2024 run against President Donald Trump, ultimately losing in a landslide.
Despite early speculation that Shapiro might join her ticket, she chose Minnesota’s radical Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, whose campaign quickly faltered.
Walz embarrassed himself in the vice-presidential debate against JD Vance and spent much of the cycle bogged down in past scandals.
Some observers at the time speculated Harris may have avoided picking Shapiro because he is Jewish, a factor that would have angered the far-left, anti-Israel wing of the Democratic Party that played an outsized role in her campaign coalition.
