Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro criticized former Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of spreading 'blatant lies' about him in her memoirs. In her book 'The Truths We Hold,' which details her failed presidential campaign, Harris describes Shapiro as arrogant, domineering, and obsessed with the perks of the vice presidency. Shapiro, who was once on Harris's shortlist for vice president, reacted with anger, calling her account 'completely false' and 'blatant lies.' In her book, Harris claims Shapiro was obsessed with the vice president's residence, was preoccupied with the measurements of the curtains and the number of bedrooms, and asked if the Smithsonian Museum would lend him art to display in the residence. She also wrote that he wanted to be 'present in every decision' if she became president, often inserting himself into discussions, and frequently needing to be told he would not have the same level of power. Shapiro accused Harris of trying to shift blame for her devastating loss to Donald Trump, stating, 'She's trying to sell books and clear her name.' Harris's memoir also revisits the period after former President Joe Biden's disastrous debate and the weeks of internal debate that followed before launching her 107-day campaign against Trump, detailing her search for a vice presidential running mate.
