  • COOPER KNOWS HIS STATE WOULDNT LIKE HIM DOING THIS. SO HE GETS OUT!!
  • @jennym2276
    No if he accepted, his LT Governor who is a Republican steps in. He is also running for Governor to replace Cooper. And he doesn’t want to give him any incumbency edge.

    No1 wants to be remembered w/ that sinking ship! LMAO.
  • Roy Cooper made the smart move. Nothing like hitting Your wagon to the Titanic. I'm glad to hear he's smarter than that.
  • Omg, reading the toxic comments on this story is enough to make George Washington cry, even though he has been dead for 240 years….
  • @wriv819
    He is saving himself from embarrassment

    Pete Buttigieg is the closest thing to a superhero the Democratic Party has! Of the remaining candidates, he's definitely Harris' wisest pick for VP. By far the best communicator, he refuses to be bullied by today's ill-willed Republicans -- without ever needing to raise his voice or resort to exaggeration. Buttigieg actually thrives in debates and interviews, and he always comes prepared with verified facts and figures, simple analogies, and quick responses -- even when he's being grilled by Congress or far-right news hosts. His ability to convey a message with fewer words and in less time is extraordinary, and it's pure joy to watch him not only win his opponents over, but put THEM on defense! After a solid education at Harvard (degrees in History and Literature) and as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford (Politics, Economics, and Philosophy), worked as a highly paid management consultant at McKinsey & Co. and could be earning much more money than he does. But his devotion to our country led him to public service where he knew he could make a greater difference. And what a patriot! He served in our military as a Naval intelligence officer. His military experience and deep understanding of US and world history, economics, and politics uniquely position him to support Harris in international affairs. Buttigieg entered politics as a transformational mayor of South Bend, Indiana, completely changing the trajectory of a crumbling city by investing in poorer neighborhoods and infrastructure, increasing its employment rate, and much more. His educational record and his accomplishments in the corporate world, as an intelligence officer in the Navy, as a transformative mayor, as a father, and within the Biden-Harris administration make him a more qualified VP than a person decades older. He will further fire up the voters and be her best weapon in the campaign. A Harris--Buttigieg ticket will be unbeatable and give Democrats the landslide victory they need to send Trump packing!
