Walz Faces Foreign-Ties Question in Harris Vetting, CNN Reports

Four CNN sources say Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was asked by Kamala Harris’s vetting team whether he had ever been an agent of a foreign government—prompts cited China's influence as Walz had traveled there before his political career—mirroring a similar line of questioning that led Dana Remus to ask Josh Shapiro if he had ever been an agent for Israel. Shapiro called that inquiry offensive and linked it to concerns about antisemitism; aides describe vetting as a standard but sometimes expanded process, and Harris allies disclosed Walz’s questioning to help explain the rushed vetting as she moved to join the ticket.

Shapiro Memoir Reveals Israel-Driven Vetting in Harris VP Run

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro recounts in his memoir how Kamala Harris’s team grilled him over his views on Israel—went so far as to ask if he’d ever been an undercover Israeli agent. He found the line of questioning offensive but says it reflected the vigor of the vetting process. He ultimately withdrew from consideration after a final meeting with Harris, who chose Tim Walz for the ticket. The memoir, Where We Keep the Light, also weaves in faith, family, and recent political events, with release set for Jan. 27.

Trump: Harris victory would’ve cost Dokoupil his CBS job, with salary jab

In a CBS Evening News interview filmed at a Detroit Ford plant, Donald Trump told Tony Dokoupil that if Kamala Harris had won in 2024, Dokoupil “probably wouldn’t have a job right now,” then quipped about salary differences. The roughly 15-minute conversation covered the economy, inflation, and Trump’s takes on Iran, while also addressing the Renee Good ICE-officer shooting and Trump’s defense of ICE. The piece also notes that some of Trump’s claims (e.g., “ended eight wars” and inflation trends) were contested by fact-checkers.
