Host George Stephanopoulos pressed Burgum on Trump&#8217;s latest indictment and his attempts to overturn the\u200d 2020 election results, but \u200bthe governor chose to steer clear of the topic.<\/p>\n<h3>Trump&#8217;s Trifecta: Three Things Former President is Counting on to Avoid Historic\u2063 Criminal Convictions<\/h3>\n<p>When asked about Trump&#8217;s \u200bindictment, Burgum \u200ddeclined to comment directly but acknowledged that \u2062he believed President Joe Biden won \u2064the election. He also mentioned \u2064that there were\u200d irregularities in the election process. Stephanopoulos then inquired about Trump&#8217;s\u200c push to Vice President Mike Pence to not\u200c certify the election \u2063results, but Burgum deflected the question by\u2062 referring to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/yale-law-students-said-a-top-journal-was-racist-admissions-data-suggest-otherwise\/\" title=\"Yale Law Students Said a Top Journal Was Racist.

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.<\/p>\n<p>Burgum has successfully qualified for the first GOP primary debate scheduled for Aug. 23.
