Nate French, a Wake Forest communication professor, joined Jeff Hamlin on the WPTF Afternoon News to discuss Governor Roy Cooper's decision to withdraw from consideration as a running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris. Cooper, concerned about his Republican lieutenant governor assuming control during his out-of-state travels, withdrew before Harris began soliciting vetting material. French and Hamlin explored the implications of Cooper's decision and speculated on Harris' next steps in her search for a vice presidential candidate.
