North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper is no longer in the running to be Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate this election season, according to The New York Times.

The Times reported on Monday evening that Cooper informed Harris' team about his decision to withdraw. It's unclear what caused him to withdraw.

Cooper has been considered a top contender to be Harris' running mate in recent days.

John Locke Foundation senior political analyst Mitch Kokai told Fox News Digital earlier on Monday that the North Carolina governor was considered "a good match" for Harris.
