North Dakota GOP Gov. Doug Burgum is reportedly surging as a potential running mate for presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Trump has maintained a running mate will not win you an election but must be suitable to be a potential presidential successor, making the steady Burgum an intriguing low-risk option that might pull in moderates this November, sources told Axios on Sunday.
Late last month, Burgum and wife Kathryn joined Trump and first lady Melania for Easter Brunch, potentially laying out campaign plans, sources told Axios. Burgum, 67, is seen as a reliable and low-drama running mate for Trump, who last picked former VP Mike Pence, the former governor of Indiana, under similar criteria – albeit to deleterious results during the 2020 presidential election challenge seeking to investigate election integrity.
"He's one of the best governors in our country, and I hope that I'm going to be able to call on him to be a piece of the administration, a very important piece of the administration."
