North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum said on Monday he would not serve as former President Trump’s running mate if the former president were to win the party’s nomination in 2024.
“No, I would not,” Burgum, who is also running for president, said in an interview on “CNN This Morning,” when asked whether he would serve as Trump’s vice president.
“Happy to do lots of other things. I [had a] fabulous 30 years in the private sector, a lot of opportunities there,” the North Dakota governor continued.
Burgum also shot down the suggestion of accepting a cabinet position.

Indeed.
The people who didn't read the article are making fools of themselves.
This is a common problem, BTW. "Joe Politician", during the course of a long interview, responds to many questions. A "journalist" picks ONE of those questions, writes an article about it, and gets an inflammatory headline implying that Joe Politician just stood up, stated one of the many answers to many questions, with no context and without having been asked about it. FReepers then make stupid comments like "who asked you" ...
Hmmm ...
I know someone like that.
What's his name again???
"Donald" somebody ...
Not Donald Duck ...
Not Donald Rumsfeld ...
Hmmmm ...
Yawn.
“ The people who didn’t read the article are making fools of themselves.”
#1 rule of FR. You comment on the headline, not the story.
Yeah well, he admirably served this country for four years, has been labeled a traitor, seditionist, racist, insurrectionist, rapist, and liar. With all that, he is re-upping.
I think he has served this country. The Marxists are desperate for him to serve up to 1000 years in prison.
He just proved why he would never be asked. He’s weak. It will take a person of tremendous strength and character to be with Trump this time. Someone who will be capable of picking up the torch at the end of Trumps term. This guy just revealed he certainly doesn’t have what it takes.
The Hill!
What a piece of toilet paper. Can’t use it, but the pumpers
of bilge sure want you to think you can.
Bergem country is his own back yard. His dogs probably run
when they see him coming.
North Dakota: violent crime rate: 284.6 per 100,000 population.
Never heard of this guy. Why does he think we care?
I learned very quickly to violate “#1 rule” ...
As I post this reply, I noticed others have the same opinion too. Who is he? Never heard of him so he has no name recognition, which means he has nothing to offer to the Trump ticket. He must think highly of himself.....Although Ben Carson seems a little too soft, He’d bring more to the ticket than any Rino.
Bye.
answering a question NOT ASKED...
LOL. NO ONE WOULD EVER ASK YOU TO!!
He SHOULD have said he would never be asked.
This is a nothing story for early in the primary season. Right now the only appropriate answer for all the candidates is they’re in it to win it. It’d be like asking Nick Saban at the start of football season if he’d accept Bama ending the season as anything but national champion.
Excellent analogy. Spot on.
(insert video of Trump snapping his fingers in exasperation)
(audio) Damn! Now who?
Actually, yes they did ask him if he would. And he answered that he would not.
