He has ties to the oil and gas industry that is a major part of his state’s economy and received praise from Trump for his knowledge of the energy industry. “At home, Biden is acting like a dictator. He’s using mandates to shut down reliable baseload electricity. That’s why your electric bills have soared upwards, as our nation’s electric grid reliability spirals downward,” he said.
“When President Trump unleashes American energy, we unleash American prosperity and we ensure our national security,” Burgum said.
