Shapiro Calls Harris’s Memoir Claims ‘Blatant Lies’ in Atlantic Interview

The Pennsylvania governor rejects anecdotes from the 2024 vetting as mischaracterizations.

Overview

  • Josh Shapiro told The Atlantic that Kamala Harris’s account of his vice‑presidential vetting contains “blatant lies.”
  • Harris’s memoir describes Shapiro musing about being in every decision, prompting her reminder that a vice president is not a co‑president.
  • She also wrote that he asked about bedrooms at the Naval Observatory and considered borrowing Pennsylvania art for the residence, details he flatly denied.
  • Tim Alberta reported that Shapiro “snapped” when asked if he felt betrayed and quoted him saying Harris is trying to sell books.
  • Shapiro defended his conduct by saying he asked many questions because the discussion was about forming a working partnership.
