North Carolina Gov. Says If Harris Wins State, ‘She Is The Next President’

“She knows that we are in play," Gov. Roy Cooper said Sunday.
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) said Sunday he believes Vice President Kamala Harris would have a straight shot at the White House if she carries his state in November, reflecting her frequent visits to the region.
“There’s no question about it, it’s close here in North Carolina,” Cooper told CBS’ Margaret Brennan on Sunday. “The fact that Kamala Harris, as vice president of the United States, has been to North Carolina 17 times shows that she cares about our state.”
“She knows that we are in play,” he went on. “And she knows that if she wins North Carolina, she is the next President of the United States because Trump has no other pathway.”
North Carolina carries 16 votes in the Electoral College and would help either candidate reach the 270 needed to win the White House.
Cooper has served two terms as governor of North Carolina, a swing state and key prize during the November election. He is term-limited, and while he was considered to be a contender on Harris’ vice presidential shortlist, he withdrew his name from consideration before she tapped Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
