Democrat Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has leveled serious accusations against Vice President Kamala Harris, alleging that she fabricated events in her recent memoir to boost sales and protect her reputation.
Shapiro's remarks came in response to Harris's book, "107 Days," which recounts her presidential campaign and includes claims about her interactions with Shapiro during his consideration as a potential running mate.
In a profile by Tim Alberta for The Atlantic, Shapiro expressed a mix of outrage and frustration upon hearing the excerpts from Harris's memoir. The book accuses Shapiro of dominating the conversation during their interview and allegedly demanding to be "in the room for every decision." Shapiro vehemently denied these claims, stating, "She wrote that in her book? Thats complete bullshit. I can tell you that her accounts are just blatant lies."
According to Breitbart, Alberta recounted some of the questions Harris purportedly posed during their meeting, such as inquiries about the size of the vice president's Naval Observatory home and whether Pennsylvania art could be loaned for the residence.
Shapiro dismissed these claims, suggesting Harris's motivations were purely commercial. "I mean, shes trying to sell books and cover her ass," he remarked, later amending his statement to, "I shouldnt say cover her ass. I think thats not appropriate. Shes trying to sell books. Period."
In the political landscape of Pennsylvania, President Trump emerged victorious over Kamala Harris, despite Joe Biden's 2020 win in the state. Shapiro reflected on the Democrats' shortcomings, acknowledging their failure to engage with certain communities respectfully.
"Democrats lost ground in some of these communities by failing to show up and failing to treat people with a level of respect that they deserve," Shapiro told Alberta. He further acknowledged President Trump's unique ability to connect with voters on a cultural level, describing him as "a once-in-a-generation political figure."
