North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has decided to remove himself from consideration as a potential running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris, as reported by a source familiar with the discussions. Cooper, who was considered a top contender for the role, cited concerns about his age of 67 as a factor in his decision.
There have also been apprehensions among some Democrats regarding Mark Robinson, the Republican lieutenant governor of the state. According to the state constitution, Robinson would assume the duties of the governor in the absence of the governor.
The source mentioned that attempts were made to contact a representative for Cooper for further clarification, but no response was received. The Harris campaign declined to provide any comments on the matter.
