North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper withdrew himself from consideration to be Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate in November. The Democrat announced the decision on X.
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper is no longer in the running to be Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate this election season. The governor confirmed the news in a statement on X. The New York Times broke the story on Monday evening, reporting that Cooper informed Harris' team about his decision to withdraw.
This just wasn't the right time for North Carolina and for me to potentially be on a national ticket,' the North Carolina Democrat added. 'As I've said from the beginning, she has an outstanding list of people from which to choose, and we'll all work to make sure she wins.' Cooper was considered a top contender among Harris' potential running mates in recent days.
Democrats are likely to see Roy Cooper as a good match for Kamala Harris for multiple reasons. First and foremost, Cooper helps bring North Carolina’s 16 electoral votes into play in a way other candidates do not,' Kokai explained. 'He has won six statewide elections since 2000. That’s an impressive accomplishment for a Democrat in a state that has trended right during the same time period.
