Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro (PA) went scorched earth on failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris this week, when he heard — seemingly for the first time — what she wrote about Shapiro in her then-unpublished memoir.
Shapiro, who was once considered to be Harris’ running mate, bluntly stated that the former VP told “blatant lies” about him and said she was trying to “cover her *ss” and “sell books.”
Harris claims in “107 Days” that Shapiro was overbearing and suggests he wanted to be a co-president if they won the election.
Shapiro had “mused that he would want to be in the room for every decision,” Harris also says, adding that this made her tell Shapiro that “a vice president is not a co-president.”
Harris also wrote that she questioned if Shapiro “would be unable to settle for a role as number two and that it would wear on our partnership.”
During an interview with The Atlantic, Shapiro was told about these comments, which were apparently unbeknownst to him at the time. “I did ask a bunch of questions,” he reacted. “Wouldn’t you ask questions if someone was talking to you about forming a partnership and working together?”

Shapiro was also told that Harris wrote that the governor asked her residence manager how many bedrooms were in the vice-presidential residence and was curious if the Smithsonian might work with him to loan Pennsylvania art for the house.
Those comments, according to The Atlantic, set off Shapiro.
“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 by Harris, Shapiro continued to go off: “I mean, she’s trying to sell books and cover her *ss,” he said. “I shouldn’t say ‘cover her *ss.’ I think that’s not appropriate … She’s trying to sell books. Period.”
Harris performed incredibly poorly in her 2024 run for the White House against President Donald Trump. She decided against Shapiro as her VP pick, and instead chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who tanked a debate against Vice President JD Vance. Walz was also plagued by past scandals during the campaign.
Some speculated at the time that Harris opted for Walz over Shapiro since the latter is Jewish, which wouldn’t sit well with far-Left Democrats who are anti-Israel or even antisemitic.
