He also recommended that Harris consider North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper as her running mate. Among 202 Democrats, only six supported House Resolution 1371, with Davis being the only one from North Carolina&#8217;s delegation of 14 who broke party lines; he is also facing what is deemed a toss-up election this November. In his statement released Friday morning, Davis declared, \u201cToday, I announce my endorsement and support for Vice President Kamala Harris for president. I believe Gov. Roy Cooper, an eastern North Carolina native, would be an outstanding choice for vice president as well. The stakes in this presidential election are extremely high and have significant implications.\u201d He added that both the administration and Congress need to tackle issues related to the southern border without neglecting them: \u201cI will continue advocating for comprehensive immigration reform that includes securing the border along with other matters affecting families in eastern North Carolina.\u201d When asked how these two actions aligned and how he formed his opinions on each matter, Davis\u2019 Washington office responded via email stating that \u201cCongressman Davis stands by his decision to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris while emphasizing the necessity of securing the border.\u201d In his race for re-election in North Carolina\u2019s 1st Congressional District, he faces Republican Laurie Buckhout; political analysts suggest a GOP victory could shift North Carolina\u2019s congressional delegation from its current split of 7-7 to potentially as many as 11 Republicans against just three Democrats.
