Donald Trump and Doug Burgum
Donald Trump and Doug Burgum
Donald Trump has selected Doug Burgum as his running mate. Burgum is a multi-millionaire first and Governor of North Dakota second. You probably haven’t heard of him, but he’s been quietly pushing some of the most extreme, MAGA policies of any Governor in the country. As Vice President, he’ll work to pass extreme abortion bans, rubber stamp Donald Trump’s attempts to be a “dictator on day one” and will pass giant tax cuts for himself and his friends.
President Biden and Vice President Harris have spent their administration looking out for working families, and Donald Trump has only been focused on himself and his rich friends. He’s now picked one of them to be his Vice President.
