Kamala Harris's vetting team in 2024 asked Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) if he was an Israeli agent, according to a new memoir from the Pennsylvania governor.
The book, Where We Keep the Light, details, in part, the Harris campaign's fixation on Shapiro's views on Israel. Shapiro, who is Jewish, was a finalist to be Harris's running mate in the 2024 presidential election, though Harris ultimately picked Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN).
