Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND) seemingly had little to say about his main opponent in the 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump.
The governor appeared on ABC's This Week Sunday, only to be at the receiving-end of questions by host Geoge Stephanopoulos, as Burgum avoided the topic of Trump, or any of the three indictments against the former head of state.
Stephanopoulos asked Burgum about Trump’s latest indictment, as well as a follow-up question asking whether Trump was right to try to overturn the election results in 2020. Burgum declined to answer the first question, but affirmed that he believed"that [President] Joe Biden won the election," while also stating that,"there were irregularities in terms of how the election went.
“But what I know is that I’m running against Joe Biden and that’s what we’re going to be talking about,” Burgum said. “There are people on the ground that are not watching these Sunday programs that are saying, you know, why is the — why is the [Department of Justice] defending Hunter Biden and why are they attacking President Trump? It does seem political to people.
