Andy Beshear and Roy Cooper leave door open to be Harris's vice president

Govs. Andy Beshear (D-KY) and Roy Cooper (D-NC) are widely considered top contenders to be Vice President Kamala Harris‘s running mate, and both governors left the door open to being Harris’s vice president when asked directly on Monday.

After President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he would drop out of the race and endorsed Harris to replace him at the top of the Democratic ticket, several prominent Democrats have backed Harris to be the new presidential nominee. With Harris as the likely nominee, the process to find her a running mate will have to happen in an abbreviated process ahead of next month’s Democratic National Convention.
