North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, a potential running mate for President Donald Trump, shared his insights on President Joe Biden's debate abilities ahead of the upcoming presidential debate. Governor Burgum emphasized Biden's capability to rise to the occasion when necessary, countering what he perceived as efforts by the Biden team to lower expectations.
Highlighting Biden's extensive political experience, Burgum pointed out that Biden has demonstrated his ability to perform well in debates in the past, citing his previous debate performances and his State of the Union address earlier this year.
Joining Trump and other Republican allies in predicting a strong debate performance from the president, Burgum acknowledged Biden's skills based on his past debates, including his performance against Paul Ryan in 2012.
The upcoming debate, scheduled for June 27, will mark the first presidential debate between an incumbent and a former president. Both candidates have been preparing diligently, with Biden focusing on key issues such as abortion, democracy, and Trump's economic plans.
While Biden and his team are conducting mock debate sessions and reviewing briefing materials at Camp David, Trump has been maintaining an active campaign schedule and engaging with advisers.
Regarding the possibility of being Trump's running mate, Burgum expressed openness to the idea, highlighting his successful background in business and governance. He also hinted at the potential of contributing his personal wealth to the campaign if nominated.
As the debate approaches, both candidates are gearing up for a crucial showdown that will set the stage for the upcoming presidential election.
