Doug Burgum avoids answering questions about Trump and indictments.
Gov. Doug Burgum Avoids Discussing Trump and Indictments in 2024 Presidential Election
During his appearance on ABC’s This Week Sunday, Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND) skillfully dodged questions about his main opponent in the 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump. Host George Stephanopoulos pressed Burgum on Trump’s latest indictment and his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, but the governor chose to steer clear of the topic.

When asked about Trump’s indictment, Burgum declined to comment directly but acknowledged that he believed President Joe Biden won the election. He also mentioned that there were irregularities in the election process. Stephanopoulos then inquired about Trump’s push to Vice President Mike Pence to not certify the election results, but Burgum deflected the question by referring to the legal debate from the previous segment.
“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.”
Despite being pressed on the matter, Burgum emphasized that his expertise lies in business rather than law. As an entrepreneur and leader of businesses, he cares about the people of the country and is focused on the future. He expressed his belief that there are numerous individuals who want to discuss topics other than legal matters.
Burgum has successfully qualified for the first GOP primary debate scheduled for Aug. 23. To meet the requirements, he had to poll at a minimum of 1% and receive 40,000 individual donations. He will be competing against twelve other Republican candidates, including an incumbent president, in the race for the 2024 GOP nomination.
