Overview

• Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro told Stephen A. Smith that Kamala Harris is "going to have to answer" for not publicly raising concerns about Joe Biden’s health before the 2024 election.
• Shapiro said he voiced worries privately to Biden’s team and stressed the stakes in Pennsylvania, describing himself as direct and candid in those conversations.
• Excerpts from Harris’s forthcoming book, 107 Days, say she felt pushing Biden to step aside would be seen as disloyalty and later describe staying the course as "recklessness."
• The memoir recounts the post-debate period and details the VP search, with accounts depicting Shapiro as focused on status details during vetting, a portrayal his spokesperson called "simply ridiculous."
• Related reporting describes three finalists for Harris’s running mate — Tim Walz, Josh Shapiro, and Mark Kelly — with a separate book saying Shapiro came off as overly ambitious in interviews.
