The Jewish governor was said to have responded that the question was offensive and was told, "Well, we have to ask."
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’s team asked Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro during the 2024 running-mate vetting process whether he had ever been an “agent” of Israel, according to an advance copy of his memoir obtained by The New York Times on Sunday.
In “Where We Keep the Light,” Shapiro, who is Jewish and whose home was targeted in an antisemitic arson attack last year, says Harris’s team focused heavily on his views on Israel during the selection process.
“Had I been a double agent for Israel?” Shapiro wrote, per the Times, describing an eleventh-hour question from the vice president’s team.
