North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum On Trump's VP Shortlist

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum waves to the crowd at a rally in Wildwood, N.J., May 11, 2024. Former President Donald Trump has narrowed his vice presidential shortlist to a handful of contender

North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who is reportedly being considered as a potential running mate for former President Donald Trump, recently spoke on Fox News about the vice presidential selection process. Burgum emphasized that only President Trump knows who his pick will be, indicating that he himself has not been informed of any decision.

When questioned about his signing of a six-week abortion ban in North Dakota, Burgum highlighted his alignment with Trump on the issue of abortion. He stated that there is 'zero daylight' between their positions and stressed that he is 'absolutely and totally opposed' to a federal abortion ban, a stance he maintained during his presidential campaign last fall.

Trump had previously commented on Burgum's signing of the abortion ban, indicating that it was a point of consideration. Despite this, Burgum reiterated his commitment to his stance on the issue and his alignment with Trump's position.

Turning his attention to President Joe Biden, Burgum criticized Biden's team for allegedly concealing the president's decline, likening the situation to tactics employed by the Soviet Union. This remark reflects Burgum's perspective on the current administration and his concerns regarding transparency.

In summary, Governor Doug Burgum's recent statements shed light on his potential role as a vice presidential candidate and his views on key issues such as abortion and political transparency. As the speculation continues, only time will tell who President Trump ultimately selects as his running mate.
