North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper reiterated his strong support for Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday, stopping short of confirming any potential role as her running mate. Cooper, who has known Harris for years and previously served alongside her as attorneys general, endorsed her unequivocally for the presidency, emphasizing the need to defeat Trump.
When pressed about the possibility of being considered as Harris' running mate, Cooper maintained his endorsement of her candidacy and expressed his desire for her to select the best person for the role of Vice President. He declined to provide further details, stating that he respects Harris' decision-making process.
Recent reports indicated that Cooper, among other Democrats, had been asked to provide personal information for vetting purposes by the Harris campaign. However, during the press conference on Tuesday, Cooper neither confirmed nor denied whether he had submitted any materials for vetting.
Cooper's stance remained consistent in not disclosing any details related to his potential consideration as Harris' running mate. He emphasized his support for Harris and his willingness to allow her the space to make the best decision for her campaign.
