Overview
- Excerpts from Josh Shapiro’s forthcoming memoir, Where We Keep the Light, report that Harris vetting aide Dana Remus asked, “Have you ever been an agent of the Israeli government?”
- Shapiro writes that Remus followed by asking whether he had ever communicated with an undercover Israeli agent, a line of questioning he says was offensive.
- He describes the sessions as professional yet unsettling, saying he wondered if he faced extra scrutiny as the only Jewish finalist for the 2024 ticket.
- Shapiro also recounts Harris asking whether he would apologize for statements about campus protests, which he says he declined to do.
- Harris and Remus did not provide on-the-record comment in the initial reports; the book is due out January 27, and Harris ultimately selected Tim Walz as her running mate.
