North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, a potential Democratic vice-presidential candidate, recently declined to comment on whether he would consider joining Vice President Kamala Harris on the Democratic ticket if asked. During an MSNBC interview, Cooper chose to redirect the focus towards Harris, whom he endorsed on Sunday.
Cooper emphasized the importance of supporting Harris in her bid for the nomination, stating, 'I appreciate people talking about me, but I think the focus right now needs to be on her this week.' He expressed his commitment to working for Harris's campaign and stopping Donald Trump from securing a second term.
Regarding a possible vice-presidential role, Cooper stressed that the conversation should occur at a later time. He highlighted the need to concentrate on Harris's current campaign efforts and ensure her success in securing the nomination.
Cooper revealed that he had spoken with Harris about strategies to win North Carolina and maintain control of the White House. He expressed confidence in Harris's ability to attract young voters and suburban women, indicating that she would be a compelling candidate in the upcoming election.
