Gov. Doug Burgum (R-N.D.) — who is on the shortlist to be former President Donald Trump's running mate — reacts to the first presidential debate and the state of the race.
North Dakota’s GOP Gov. Doug Burgum, who is widely considered to be on the short list to be former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential nominee, on Sunday said that President Joe Biden is “not capable of serving” as commander in chief. “Biden ... you know, isn’t capable of serving right now,” Burgum told NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” speaking days after Biden and Trump met for the first presidential debate of the election cycle.
“That would be between the president and I,” Burgum answered, going further than he has before in acknowledging that he’s spoken to Trump about potentially serving as his vice president. NBC News reported this month that Burgum is still on Trump’s short list of potential nominees, joining GOP Sens. Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance. The governor was also asked about whether Trump would accept the results of the upcoming election, regardless of who wins.
