North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum is expected to announce his candidacy for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, putting him in an already crowded field dominated by ex-President Donald Trump.
The Republicans, who had knowledge of Burgum’s plans, said he is expected to announce his candidacy on June 7 at a midday event in Fargo, Burgum’s home town. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because the event had not been publicized yet.The 66-year-old Burgum, a former computer software entrepreneur, would be jumping into a field that includes fellow Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, seen by some Republicans as the strongest alternative to Trump. Other candidates include former U.
“He’s stayed a regular guy, but really understands issues on ag, energy and foreign policy,” said Rastetter, who is helping Burgum make introductions in Iowa, but is so far neutral in the developing 2024 Iowa caucus campaign. DeSantis’ campaign did not respond immediately to an email seeking comment about Burgum, but his campaign said it had raised $8.2 million in the first 24 hourts after the announcement.
