Pelosi to visit Raleigh amid Cooper VP rumors, NCSU chancellor retiring

Author: WRAL News | Raleigh, North Carolina July 20, 2024 Duration: 29:46

There's major turnover in state government with the resignation or retirement of multiple state lawmakers, chiefs of staff and university chancellors. Josh Stein and Mark Robinson are obliterating campaign fundraising records as voters key in on the race to replace Gov. Roy Cooper....who's now at the center of veepstakes rumors. If President Joe Biden shutters his reelection campaign and turns the reins over to Vice President Kamala Harris, could Cooper become her VP pick? That's what lots of political insiders think, and we explain why it could make sense. Meanwhile, following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, polls show Americans have steadily become more willing to accept violence to achieve their political goals. Why it's a problem that can't just be fixed by politicians telling their supporters to tone it down.
