Burgum says he wouldn’t serve as Trump running mate
The Hill ^ | 08/28/2023 | SARAH FORTINSKY

Posted on 08/28/2023 7:21:35 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.

He was apparently asked by the interviewer

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" ...

Interesting to note he didn’t see any need to serve in uniform either on active duty or in the reserves.

Hmmm ...

I know someone like that.

What's his name again???

"Donald" somebody ...

Not Donald Duck ...

Not Donald Rumsfeld ...

Hmmmm ...

“ 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.

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.

Wow, I guess I can’t vote for Trump now.

Never heard of this guy. Why does he think we care?

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.

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.

Actually, yes they did ask him if he would. And he answered that he would not.
