Josh Shapiro says Kamala Harris preferred limited collaboration with her vice president role

Shapiro withdrew from Harris's 2024 VP vetting after facing persistent questions about loyalty and Israel, signaling campaign concerns over a VP voicing opposing views.

  • Next week, Gov. Josh Shapiro writes in his new book that he withdrew after a meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris, who was 'crystal clear' about not wanting a VP to baldly state opinions.
  • Harris wrote that she feared a partner unable to accept being second, and Shapiro reports Vice President Kamala Harris did not enjoy serving alongside President Joe Biden.
  • During vetting, Shapiro says Harris' vetting staff, including Dana Remus, asked if he could be an Israeli agent and warned not to push because Harris would not handle bad news well.
  • Several moderate House Democrats expressed concern and frustration over the vetting, with Rep. Madeleine Dean saying she will wait until Shapiro's book comes out next week.
  • As a top prospect, Gov. Josh Shapiro's account highlights unusual vetting dynamics, including Harris' chief of staff's directions and complaints about no private bathroom, despite Shapiro and Vice President Kamala Harris never meshing.
