Doug Burgum Endorses Donald Trump for President
The endorsement comes after Burgum's own presidential campaign suspension, with Trump hinting at a potential cabinet position for Burgum if he wins.
- North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who suspended his own presidential campaign last month, has endorsed former President Donald Trump for the upcoming election.
- The endorsement was announced at a Trump campaign event in Indianola, Iowa, where Burgum praised Trump's policies on the economy, the border, and energy.
- Burgum's own presidential campaign struggled to gain significant traction, and he expressed disapproval of the Republican National Committee’s enhanced criteria for debates, which resulted in his exclusion from the most recent debate.
- Despite his endorsement, it is unlikely that Burgum's support will significantly impact the Monday caucuses, as Trump is already leading significantly in the polls.
- After his endorsement, Trump praised Burgum's business background and hinted at a possible cabinet position for him in his administration, if he wins.
