Mr. Am I Being Detained: I think Cooper would have the juice but I also think Robinson would use his LG powers to go full Ceaușescu if he lost

So Politics Bluesky: If Kamala runs, who should her VP nom be?

Mark Kelly, Andy Beshear, or Roy Cooper.

I think Cooper would have the juice but I also think Robinson would use his LG powers to go full Ceaușescu if he lost

Not sure what you mean. I'm only offering Cooper as a suggestion if Harris runs while Biden remains in the White House. She obviously can't ask him to leave office before 2025, or we'd get Robinson.

If Harris/Cooper and and won, Cooper's term as governor would end on December 31, 2024, anyway, and either Robinson or Stein would be sworn in on January 1, 2025.

But isn’t the LG the acting governor whenever the governor’s out of state, which a national campaign would require him to be?

I mean, it's not like Cooper has stayed in North Carolina for these four years. Robinson hasn't tried anything yet.

Fair enough, I just keep thinking of how much less concerned I am about another Jan. 6 if Trump loses without the home field advantage
