(Bismarck, ND) — North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who announced today (Mon) he’s *not* running for a third term, says it’s too early to speculate whether he may be part of a second Trump administration.
Burgum says, “President Trump would have to win the nomination and he’d have to win a tough election in the fall.
And then of course that’s all up to the president: The president gets to decide on who’s his running mate and who’s his cabinet team, and I’m sure that he’ll pick an excellent cabinet and an excellent running mate at the time of his choosing.” Trump said during his Iowa caucus victory speech that he hopes he’s going to be able to call on Burgum to be “a very important piece of the administration.”
Burgum dropped out of the race for the G-O-P presidential nomination in early December and endorsed Trump the weekend before the Iowa caucuses.
