Gov. Doug Burgum’s GOP presidential pitch to the ‘exhausted majority’

Firing Line with Margaret Hoover

North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum joins Margaret Hoover from Iowa, where he is campaigning for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, to discuss his strategy and his agenda.

Burgum, a successful CEO who entered politics in 2016, explains why he is now running for president and why he thinks he can win despite frontrunner Donald Trump’s massive lead over the field.

He criticizes the Biden administration’s handling of energy, immigration, and national security and details how he would work to increase domestic energy production, secure the border, and win a cold war with China if elected.

Burgum reflects on his performance at the first GOP primary debate, voices concerns about the Republican nominating process, and says it’s time for the GOP to look forward rather than focusing on the 2020 election.
