In his forthcoming book, “Where We Keep the Light,” Pennsylvania<\/a> Gov. Josh Shapiro writes that the prospect of becoming the vice president for Kamala Harris did not “feel right,” Politico Playbook reported.<\/p>\n

“I knew that despite the honor of it, it just didn\u2019t feel right for some reason,” Shapiro noted, according to the outlet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Regarding the vetting to potentially become Harris’ 2024 running mate, he wrote that “all of the questioning felt unnecessarily contentious,” according to the report, which also noted that he indicated that Harris’ team “didn\u2019t understand where the people who would decide this presidential election really were.”<\/p>\n

“If we had door A and door B as options, and she was for door A and I was for door B, I just wanted to make sure that I could make the case for door B, and if I didn\u2019t convince her, then I\u2019d run right through a brick wall to support her decision,” he notes in the book, according to The New York Times<\/a>. “She was crystal clear that that was not what she was looking for.”<\/p>\n

Shapiro was “surprised” by the extent to which Harris<\/a> “seemed to dislike the role” she held as vice president, he indicated in the book, Politico Playbook reported.<\/p>\n

“She noted that her chief of staff would be giving me my directions, lamented that the Vice President didn’t have a private bathroom in their office and how difficult it was for her at times not to have a voice in decision making,” Shapiro wrote, according to the Times.<\/p>\n

The outlet reported that Shapiro opted to withdraw himself from consideration, and requested to get in touch with Harris to deliver his decision, but was told that “the VP would not handle bad news well and that I shouldn’t push.”<\/p>\n

Harris ultimately tapped Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz<\/a> as her 2024 running mate, but the two were soundly defeated by the Republican ticket featuring Donald Trump and JD Vance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
