Cooper confirmed his withdrawal in a statement, saying he was "honored to be considered for this role." 

"This just wasn't the right time for North Carolina and for me to potentially be on a national ticket. As I've said from the beginning, she has an outstanding list of people from which to choose, and we'll all work to make sure she wins," he said.
