North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum (R) made a compelling plea on Tuesday, urging billionaires to rally behind former President Trump. He emphasized that their support would not only benefit their shareholders but also contribute to the overall prosperity of the United States.
During his appearance on Fox News’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Burgum expressed his thoughts to billionaires across the country. He mentioned that he wished they had the chance to truly know President Trump as he and the first lady did. According to Burgum, witnessing someone who genuinely cares about the country, who perseveres despite the challenges, and who fights for everyday Americans every single day is truly remarkable.
According to Ingraham, there are still many billionaires, especially those from Wall Street, who are planning to support President Biden.
According to Burgum, Trump’s policies are heading in the right direction. He believes that if you are a billionaire who prioritizes the well-being of your shareholders, family, and future generations, you should vote for someone who can bring prosperity to America and peace to the world. Burgum asserts that President Trump is committed to achieving these goals.
Burgum, a billionaire himself, showed his support for the former president’s reelection campaign by endorsing it in January. As the first among the former 2024 presidential candidates, he officially backed Trump’s bid for presidency.
During his endorsement speech, Burgum highlighted Trump’s strong stance on the economy, border security, and energy policies.
Earlier this year, Trump suggested that Burgum could play a significant role in his next administration if he were to win in November. Trump praised the governor, referring to him as the “most solid guy.”
Burgum’s name has been mentioned as one of the potential vice presidential candidates for Trump in recent weeks. There has been ongoing speculation about who the former president will choose. According to Axios, Trump’s team views Burgum as a safe choice who could appeal to moderate voters.
According to a top Trump adviser, there is a widespread admiration for Burgum among the public. The adviser mentioned that Trump will ultimately make the decision, adding that there could be updates about it on Truth Social.
Earlier this year, Burgum made the announcement that he will not be seeking another term as the governor of North Dakota. He will be stepping down from his position at the end of his second term in December.
