North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has withdrawn from consideration to be Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, citing concerns that his Republican lieutenant governor would assume control when he travels out of state if he were selected. Cooper, who has been considered a potential running mate given his long friendship with Harris, said in a statement that it "just wasn't the right time for North Carolina and for me to potentially be on a national ticket."
