Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro isn't holding back on Kamala Harris's new campaign memoir, and the resulting drama is turning into a full-blown Democratic family feud.

Shapiro Calls Out Harris's Running-Mate Story

Speaking to The Atlantic on Wednesday, Shapiro tore into Harris's book "107 Days," specifically her account of their 2024 running-mate interview. He called it "just blatant lies" and dismissed the whole thing with a blunt assessment: "She's trying to sell books. Period."

Harris painted Shapiro as pushy and domineering in the vetting session, claiming he promised to be "in the room for every decision" and bombarded her with questions about the vice president's residence. Shapiro flatly denies all of it.

A Blunt Assessment Of Why Democrats Lost Ground

But here's where it gets really interesting. Shapiro, who helped lead Harris's Pennsylvania effort, now argues 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." Then he dropped this line about Trump: "a once-in-a-generation political figure who's managed to connect on a deeper cultural level."

That's not exactly the party line you'd expect from a Democratic governor who just campaigned for Harris.

The numbers back up Shapiro's concerns. Reuters' post-election analysis found Harris struggled badly in blue-collar regions of Pennsylvania and other industrial states, where voters remained anxious about inflation and the economy.

This isn't Shapiro's first time breaking ranks. He told Stephen A. Smith's SiriusXM show back in September that he'd voiced concerns about former President Joe Biden's performance: "I told them my concerns."

More Democrats Dispute The Memoir

Shapiro isn't alone in questioning Harris's version of events. According to an Associated Press report from September, Harris wrote that former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was her "first choice" for running mate but claimed their ticket would have been "too risky." Buttigieg said he was "surprised" to read that detail.

Then there's California Governor Gavin Newsom. Harris wrote that she called him seeking an endorsement after Biden dropped out and only got a text saying "Hiking. Will call back," with no follow-up. Newsom told NBC's Kristen Welker he didn't know why that "was even in the book," pointing out, "I sent out an endorsement a few minutes after [my text] as one of her first endorsements."

When multiple party heavyweights are publicly contradicting your memoir, the book tour probably isn't going as planned.
