US EditionJosh Shapiro Says He Was Questioned About Israel Ties During Kamala Harris VP Vetting, Memoir Reveals
Josh Shapiro says Harris's vetting team repeatedly questioned him about alleged ties to Israel, a line of inquiry he found offensive during the 2024 vice-presidential selection.
- Shapiro's memoir excerpts published Sunday reveal Kamala Harris's vetting team asked Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro repeated questions about Israel, The New York Times reported.
- Kamala Harris's vetting team pressed Shapiro about his support for Israel after the Oct. 7, 2023 attack and asked if he would apologize for comments on University of Pennsylvania protests.
- Dana Remus directly asked Josh Shapiro `Have you ever been an agent of the Israeli government?`, and Shapiro replied `If they were undercover, how the hell would I know?`, calling the question offensive and noting he was the only Jewish finalist.
- After the vetting, Shapiro decided he did not want to run and would back Harris, who shortly selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate in the 2024 presidential ticket selection.
- Both camps have offered competing versions, with officials like Aaron Keyak criticizing the loyalty tests as discriminatory, while Harris and Shapiro differ on their accounts amid 2028 presidential race stakes this year.
