Burgum, who is serving his second term as the state&#8217;s top official, is expected to make his announcement on June 7 in Fargo, the state capital.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>A Successful Businessman Turned Politician<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Burgum, 66, is a former software business owner who sold his company to Microsoft Corp in 2001. He is known for his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-endorses-south-carolina-republican-russell-fry-against-impeachment-supporter-tom-rice\/\" title=\"Trump Endorses South Carolina Republican Russell Fry Against Impeachment Supporter Tom Rice\">pro-low taxes<\/a> and fewer regulations stance. The person familiar with his plans said that Burgum will likely focus on the economy and national security, portraying himself as a traditional conservative.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>A Compelling Personal Story<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>While some consider Burgum a long shot for the nomination, Republican political consultant Jeanette Hoffman believes that he has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ohio-senate-race-gets-another-gop-contender-in-entrepreneur-bernie-moreno\/\" title=\"Ohio Senate Race Gets Another GOP Contender in Entrepreneur Bernie Moreno\">compelling personal story<\/a> that could appeal to those tired of the chaos of Trump. &#8220;Right now, GOP primary voters are like &#8216;who?'&#8221; she said. &#8220;But this could be an open field and he has a story to tell.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>A Growing Field of Republican Candidates<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Burgum is joining an expanding field of Republicans vying for the chance to take on President Joe Biden, who is expected to win the Democratic nomination for a second term. According to Reuters\/Ipsos polling conducted from May 9-15, Trump is backed by 49 percent of Republicans, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in a distant second place at 19 percent.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>A Governor with a Strong Record<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Burgum won reelection easily in 2020 with more than two thirds of the vote. Last month, he signed one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/north-dakotas-republican-governor-set-to-launch-presidential-bid\/\" title=\"ND's GOP Governor to Run for President\">strictest anti-abortion laws<\/a> in the country, joining a conservative push to limit access to the procedure in many states. He also signed into law the largest income tax cut in state history.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As the race for the Republican nomination heats up, it will be interesting to see how Burgum&#8217;s candidacy develops and whether he can gain traction among voters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>a bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, according to a source familiar with his intentions.
