Nate French, a communication professor at Wake Forest University, joined Jeff Hamlin on the WPTF Afternoon News to discuss Governor Roy Cooper's decision to withdraw from Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate search. Cooper's withdrawal, partly driven by concerns over his Republican lieutenant governor taking control during out-of-state travels, occurred before Harris formally began vetting candidates. French offered insights into Cooper's political calculations and what this means for Harris' selection process moving forward.
