Pennsylvania Governor criticizes Kamala Harris’ “lies”.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro criticized former Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of spreading “blatant lies” about him in her memoirs that highlight her failed attempt to win the presidency.

Shapiro, who was once on Harris’ running mate, was furious when he learned that the former vice president had described him in her book, 107 Days, which reveals all about her campaign, as arrogant, domineering, and enamored with the benefits of the vice presidency.

“Did she write that in her book?” asked Tim Alberta of The Atlantic, who highlighted the stinging passages in an interview with Shapiro published last Wednesday.

The Pennsylvania governor replied: “That is completely untrue. I can tell you that her story is just blatant lies.”

In her book, which chronicles 107 days of her failed election campaign, Harris said that Shapiro was obsessed with the vice president’s residence, where he was preoccupied with the sizes of the curtains and the number of bedrooms, and asked if the Smithsonian Museum would loan him works of art to display in the residence.

Shapiro wanted to be “present in every decision” if she became president, Harris wrote, adding that he often asserted himself in discussions and often needed to be told that he would not have the same amount of power.

Alberta said Shapiro’s reaction ranged from anger to indignation as he read the excerpts.

When asked if he felt “betrayed” by the vice president, Shapiro harshly criticized her and accused her of shifting blame for her landslide loss to Donald Trump.

“I mean, she’s trying to sell books and exonerate herself,” Shapiro said pointedly, before backing down and saying, “I shouldn’t say that. I think that’s inappropriate.”

Harris’s book revisits the period following former President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate, and the weeks of internal debate that followed before launching her 107-day campaign against Trump. She detailed the search for a vice president, writing that Pete Buttigieg was her “first choice” for vice president, but she found this choice “too great a political risk.”

“We were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a black woman,” Harris wrote, continuing: “Part of me wanted to say, ‘Come on, let’s do it,’ but knowing what was at stake, that was too big a risk.”

Harris ultimately chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, and since then, Shapiro has emerged as a potential candidate for the 2028 presidential election. About the New York Post
