BREAKING: Governor Roy Cooper Reportedly Removes Himself As Vice Presidential Contender—-North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper reportedly took himself out of the running to be Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, two people briefed on the matter told The New York Times—shrinking the field of Democrats vying to be Harris’ running mate.
Cooper reportedly told Harris’ team he no longer wants to be considered as a potential vice president, according to the Times, though it was not immediately clear why.
Spokespeople for Cooper and Harris did not immediately respond to Forbes’ request for comment on the Times report.
Cooper was one of about a half dozen politicians—including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz—being vetted by Harris’ team as a potential running mate.
