North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper issued a statement on Monday night signaling that he's removed himself from contention as a vice presidential running mate for presidential candidate Kamala Harris. "I strongly support Vice President Harris' campaign for President. I know she's going to win and I was honored to be considered for this role. This just wasn't the right time for North Carolina and for me to potentially be on a national ticket," he said in a post on X. (Snip) Moments after Cooper issued his statement, he delivered remarks on a “White Dudes for Harris" Zoom call, but did

The same forces behind the scenes that installed pResident Biden will now appoint Mark Kelly to run as Kamala's VP - if in fact, they don't finagle his topping the ticket in another coup at the Dem convention.

Can you imagine purposely joining the Kommielala team, that's like signing up for Imperial Palice duty in July 1945. Also imagine going from being in charge to being told where to go and what to say by the nutcases on her staff. I'm sure him wife is dead set against it.

No Democrat with future aspirations to run for President is going to tie themselves to Kamala’s apron strings.

To answer Nr 9's question: ANOTHER moron and a loser. That's why our MN governor Tim Walz is shamelessly campaigning for the position. He's presided over a sudden and major decline in Minnesota and is only loved by the Twin Cities area - which gives him enough votes to offset the state's remaining 80 counties that can't stand him. He's a coward, indecisive, evil, and a liar. That pairs him up pretty well with KamaLOL I'd say.

Her running mate will be swept into the dustbin of history along with her when Trump wins in a landslide.

Snoop Harris had a staff turnover of more than 90%. There are numerous reports of her despicable personality. Why would anyone sign up for that?

White Dudes for Harris. Very racist. For a party that says they are the party for fighting racism they certainly harp on race and point it out every place they can - who really is the racist party?
Trump needs to quit with the spoiled brat name calling and seriously focus on policy and how he wants to make things better for American. Keep hitting policy. Force the democrats to focus on policy and they will fail. They are trying every diversion tactic to not to have to focus on policy. Illegal immigration is hated by Americans Example: Twit Harris is saying illegal immigration is at its all time low - which is a lie: 1.There should be No illegal immigration not that it is at an all time low. 2. Dem Senators blame Republicans for not accepting a deal tor proposal that decreased immigration to 2500 per day instead of 5000 per day. This decrease is pointless yet mindless Democrats think this is "the solution" for solving immigration that Republicans rejected. These KoolAid drinking mindless democrat minions are dangerous and I know too many. There should be No Illegal immigration at all. 3. Texas State not the federal government under Twit Border Czar Harris and demented Joe has taken measures to seal their border forcing illegal to cross at harder and further away crossing points mainly CA. Something Harris and Biden administration tried to block Texas from doing. 4. Biden Harris Federal government have been shipping illegals via planes into the US and by doing so these numbers are not officially counted in the number illegal border crossers. So they are lying out their a--es. 5. Biden can stop all this with a stroke of a pin as easily as he started it. So needing bipartisan approval by Congress is a lie. 6 This illegal immigration is an attempt to secure a future voting block. They need to do this because their policies are so bad they cannot stand on their own merit. 7 Americans cannot afford groceries and have to work many jobs to make ends meet. Yet these illegal aliens get free healthcare free cell phones ~$2300 when they cross the border and free room and board in hotels in big cities - place where most Americans cannot afford to live. Then they take the money, go back home and re-cross and get another handout. They repeat doing this. Yet the not so politically smart city dwellers will vote for the party that is destroying their cities. On a side note why Jewish people would vote for this antisemitic party is beyond me. 8 Governments have emptied their prisons allowing them to cross into US 9. Harris Biden Federal government have turned off video coverage at borders showing how much and bad the immigration truly is. If numbers are down then they should be able to leave the cameras on because they have nothing to hide. More liberal lies.

Pure politics.
If Roy Cooper stepped down to run for VP, that would mean Lt Governor Mark Robinson would become Governor of N. Carolina. Mark Robinson is a man with a real future in conservative politics.

He realizes it would be the kiss of death for his career. He doesn’t want to be saddled with her. He knows she’s going to lose anyway and doesn’t want to be associated with her.

Why would anyone ever want to be a second fiddle to someone as incompetent as Kamala Harris. That would be the kiss of death.
