During a sit-down interview with Tim Alberta of The Atlantic, Shapiro revealed that he was angry about how Harris had characterized him in her recent book 107 Days, which detailed her run for the presidency in 2024.

According to Shapiro, Harris had given him no heads up about the content of her book, which described her interview with him when she was deciding who she wanted as her running mate.

At one point in her book, Harris more-or-less accused Shapiro of measuring the drapes and assuming that he would be chosen as her VP candidate.

Harris even claimed he had insisted that if he were chosen to be VP, he'd "want to be in the room for every decision" – a request she said she went through pains to explain was not feasible.

"She wrote that in her book?" Shapiro asked angrily when the quote was brought up by Alberta, indicating he hadn't read the book himself. "That's complete and utter bulls**t... I can tell you that her accounts are just blatant lies."

"I did ask a bunch of questions," Shapiro explained. "Wouldn't you ask questions if someone was talking to you about forming a partnership and working together?"

Shapiro accuses Harris of trying to "cover her a**"

Alberta explained that Shapiro was most angry at Harris for portraying him as selfish and petty, and as a carefully curated establishment politician.

"I mean, she's trying to sell books and cover her a**," Shapiro told Alberta when asked whether he felt betrayed, considering he and Harris have been friends for over 20 years.

"I shouldn't say, 'cover her a**,' I think that's not appropriate," Shapiro said, backtracking. "She's trying to sell books. Period."
