Biden 2024 concerns: Cooper to join Democratic governors meeting Biden on Wednesday

WELCOME BACK. THIS WE DO WANT TO TAKE YOU BACK TO THAT BREAKING NEWS. WE FIRST REPORTED AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN IS REPORTEDLY WEIGHING WHETHER TO STAY IN THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. THE NEW YORK TIMES BROKE THIS STORY JUST BEFORE OUR NEWSCAST AND WRS CHRIS LOVINGOOD. >> AND WRAL'S STATE GOVERNMENT REPORTER WILL DOOR AND HAVE BEEN GETTING REACTION FROM LOCAL LAWMAKERS AND JOIN US LIVE RIGHT NOW IN STUDIO GUESTS. AND JEFF, WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR GOT ON HERE. BUT, YOU KNOW, WELL, THE IMPLICATIONS OF PRESIDENT BIDEN POSSIBLY STEPPING OUT THE RACE WOULD BE HUGE FOR DEMOCRATS. >> BUT WE HAVE JUST LEARNED THE LAST 30 MINUTES THAT THE WHITE HOUSE IS DENYING THIS CLAIM. YEAH, THEY SAY HE IS NOT TALKING WITH ALLIES ABOUT STEPPING OUT AND WE SAW, YOU KNOW, HIS FIRST STOP AFTER THAT. POOR DEBATE PERFORMANCE ON FRIDAY WAS HERE IN RALEIGH AND HE SAID THAT HE IS STILL UP FOR THE JOB. SO I THINK IT'S IRRESPONSIBLE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT IF SCENARIOS, RIGHT, CONSIDERING SOMETHING LIKE THIS. SO LET'S SAY BIDEN DOES ABOUT OUT OF THE RACE WHEN THE OPTIONS THAT DEMOCRATS HAVE. WELL, YOU'VE GOT KAMALA HARRIS, THE VICE PRESIDENT MIGHT BE THE MOST OBVIOUS, A PICK TO REPLACE HIM. BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALL SORTS OF SPECULATION ABOUT WHO ELSE MIGHT STEP IF IT IF IT'S NOT. THERE IS SOME TALK ABOUT GOVERNOR COOPER, RIGHT? HE'S GOT THAT MEETING THAT HE'S HAVE WITH THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW THAT HE'S HAVING A MEETING WITH BIDEN TODAY. YES, GOT DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS INCLUDING ROY COOPER FROM YOUR NORTH CAROLINA ARE MEETING WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN TO AIR SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THAT TO PAY FOR PERFORMANCE AND THE STATE OF THE 2024 ARES. WHAT COMES NEXT? WHAT IS THE PLAN? AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE COOPER HAS BEEN FLOATED AS A SORT OF DARK HORSE PICK IN THE POTENTIALLY FOR PRESIDENT, POTENTIALLY AS A VICE PRESIDENT PICK AND SAY THAT A BIDEN STATES ON THE TICKET WHEN HE WAS HERE IN RALEIGH, HE SAID THAT HE MAY EVEN PUT COOPER ON HIS CABINET. SHOULD HE GET RE-ELECTED? AND MIND, YOU KNOW, GOVERNOR COOPER NOT RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR AGAIN IN NORTH CAROLINA, EVEN AS POSITION IS WEIGHING DOWN FOR BEING IN THE GOVERNOR OF NORTH CAROLINA. HE'S STILL VERY ACTIVE TALKING ABOUT EDUCATION ACROSS THE STATE. BUT EVEN RIGHT NOW AFTER LAST WEEK'S PERFORMANCE, BIDEN'S PERFORMANCE IN THE DEBATE, FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, HE'S KIND OF TAKEN THE WIND, GOT THAT. AND THE SUPREME COURT RULING THAT HE DOES HAVE SOME FORM OF PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY. YEAH, TRUMP HAS A LOT OF MOMENTUM RIGHT BOTH FROM THE SUPREME COURT IN THAT RULING. ALSO IN THE POLLS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING YOU KNOW, AFTER THAT DEBATE, WE'VE SEEN, YOU KNOW, A HANDFUL POLLS HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED LAST FEW DAYS AND ALL OF THEM HAVE SHOWN THAT TRUMP IS EITHER STAYING STEADY OR GAINING MOMENTUM AS PEOPLE CONTINUE TO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT BIDEN. AND AGAIN, JUST TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS A KEY BIDEN ALLY THAT IS SAYING THIS ACCORDING TO NEW YORK TIMES. BUT AS WE JUST LEARNED WITHIN THE PAST 30 OR SO MINUTES, THE DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY IS SAYING THAT THESE CLAIMS ARE FALSE, EVEN SAYING THE NEW YORK TIMES HAVE THEY GIVEN US AN ADDITIONAL 7 MINUTES WE COULD HAVE TOLD THEM AT SO IT WOULD GO TO BE WATCHING VERY CLOSELY. PRESIDENT BIDEN ALSO EXPECTED TO BE HAVING SOME SORT OF TV APPEARANCES, EVEN HAVING A
