Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has written in his new book that a member of the team vetting potential vice presidential candidates for President Joe Biden included him in a list of individuals who had been asked if they were “an agent of the Israeli government.”
According to Shapiro, he was part of a group of potential running mates considered by the Biden campaign. In his book, Shapiro recounts an experience where he was questioned about his past involvement with Israel.
Shapiro’s account suggests that the vetting process for potential vice presidential candidates included asking individuals about their connections to foreign governments. The specific question asked about Shapiro’s ties to Israel has sparked controversy and raised questions about the vetting process used by the Biden campaign.
The incident is part of a larger discussion in Shapiro’s book about his experiences as a candidate and his relationships with other politicians, including President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
