Doug Burgum Excitedly Joins Crowded GOP Field for Presidential Nomination<\/h2>\n<p>Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND) expressed his excitement about his campaigning in an already crowded GOP field for the presidential nomination. Burgum is facing off against former President Donald Trump, who has maintained a firm lead among his party in recent polling data, as well as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who has steadily trailed behind Trump.<\/p>\n<h3>Competition Breeds Greatness<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think a dozen candidates is too many. Competition is great for America,&#8221; Burgum said on CNN&#8217;s State of the Union Sunday. &#8220;It\u2019s great for any industry, and it\u2019s great for the Republican Party. It\u2019s great for our voters to have choices.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the ad-tracking firm AdImpact, the North Dakota governor has already spent $2.9 million since entering the race on June 7. Burgum outspent the next biggest spender, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), by a factor of two in the same period. The DeSantis-aligned Never Back Down PAC and Trump-aligned MAGA Inc. spent $2.9 million, but still less than Burgum, and $2.8 million, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mcconnell-claims-a-national-abortion-ban-is-possible-if-roe-v-wade-is-overturned\/\" title=\"McConnell Claims A National Abortion Ban Is \u2018Possible\u2019 If Roe V.

He will need to secure at least 1% in order to qualify for the Republican National Committee&#8217;s primary debate.<\/p>\n<p>North Dakota voters first elected Burgum as the state&#8217;s governor in 2016, and reelected the presidential hopeful for a second term which ends in 2024.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
