Josh Shapiro CRASHES OUT as Kamala Harris accuses him of demanding to be her co-President
“She wrote that in her book? That’s complete and utter bullsh*t.”
“She wrote that in her book? That’s complete and utter bullsh*t.”

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who was once on former Vice President Kamala Harris’ shortlist for vice president during her failed presidential campaign, has criticized the fellow Democrat for statements she made about him in her memoir 107 Days, accusing her of lying about himself.
Shapiro was asked about the memoir during an interview with Tim Alberta for The Atlantic, who wrote, "Having obtained the relevant sections of 107 Days that morning, I asked Shapiro if Harris had given him any heads-up about her book. She had not, he said. Then I told him that Harris had taken some shots at him."
Alberta wrote, "The man I observed over the next several minutes was unrecognizable. Gone was his equilibrium. He moved between outrage and exasperation as I relayed the excerpts."
Kamala Harris had accused Shapiro of insisting "that he would want to be in the room for every decision" Harris might make as president, and, Alberta wrote, "more generally, of hijacking the conversation when she interviewed him for the job, to the point where she reminded him that he would not be co-president."
"She wrote that in her book? That’s complete and utter bullsh*t," Shpairo said in response to claims that he had been measuring drapes and inquiring about featuring Pennsylvania artists in the vice presidential residence. "I can tell you that her accounts are just blatant lies."
In her memoir about her failed presidential campaign, Harris portrayed Shapiro as being selfish, petty, and "monomaniacally ambitious." When asked whether he felt betrayed, given they’ve known each other for 20 years, Shapiro said, " mean, she’s trying to sell books and cover her a**."
Correcting himself, he later said, "I shouldn’t say ‘cover her a**.’ I think that’s not appropriate. She’s trying to sell books. Period." Harris ultimately selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, but lost to President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. She stepped into the campaign after former President Joe Biden was ousted following a poor debate performance.
