Episode Description

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke in Greensboro and had high praise for Gov. Roy Cooper, who has been rumored as a potential VP pick if Harris takes over the presidential nomination. We asked Cooper, who said he still supports Joe Biden for president. Meanwhile the State Board of Elections approved the Constitution Party to be on the ballot but not Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or Cornel West. Republicans cried foul, but the board does plan to take a vote on West and Kennedy next week. In the race to replace Cooper as governor, Democrat Josh Stein posted a massive new fundraising haul. Republican Mark Robinson has yet to release his own fundraising information. Robinson also called reporters shameful for trying to ask him questions this week, after he made headlines for charged comments and a fundraiser he held with a controversial church.
