Who could replace Harris as the next vice presidential candidate? Meet her potential choices

LA Times  

Cooper became governor in 2017 after a long career in politics in a state that Democrats have closely contested in recent presidential elections. Cooper gained national acclaim in 2016 when, as attorney general, he opposed House Bill 2, a measure that required individuals to use bathrooms based on their gender identity assigned at birth. In 2017, the year following the law’s enactment, it was partially repealed by the North Carolina Legislature, a reversal supported by Cooper. Now in his second term, the 67-year-old Cooper has a deep political history in the swing state — having served for almost two decades in the North Carolina House and Senate. On Sunday, he became one of several vice presidential contenders to endorse Harris, saying on social media that the Californian would “lead our country thoughtfully and with integrity.”
