Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro has denied claims that his new memoir, 'Where We Keep the Light,' was written as a response to criticism from former Vice President Kamala Harris in her own book. During an appearance on a daytime talk show, Shapiro pushed back against co-host Ana Navarro's suggestion that his book was 'dishy' and intended to rehash past disputes between Democratic Party figures. Shapiro explained that he completed his memoir before reading Harris' account and emphasized that his intention was to share his personal experiences and insights from the vice-presidential vetting process.

He stated that the book was not about retaliation, but rather about being transparent with readers regarding his journey and the decisions he faced. Shapiro also agreed with Navarro that Democrats should focus on the future rather than dwell on past controversies, highlighting the importance of moving forward and drawing inspiration from people he has met during his career. He expressed confidence in the talent within the party and called for attention to upcoming elections and challenges.
