Doug\u200c Burgum Won&#8217;t Commit to Pardoning Trump<\/h2>\n<p>Gov. Doug\u2064 Burgum (R-ND) is keeping his options open when it comes to pardoning former President Donald Trump. With 91 indictments looming over Trump from federal and state prosecutors, Burgum\u2062 refuses to make a definitive statement until the legal process has run its course.<\/p>\n<h3>Putting\u2062 Justice First<\/h3>\n<p>During an appearance on Meet the Press, Burgum emphasized \u200cthe \u2062importance of \u200bthe judicial system and the \u200dpresumption of innocence. He stated, &#8220;Whether it&#8217;s for Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, or Donald Trump, everybody is innocent until proven guilty\u2063 in this country.&#8221; Burgum firmly believes that\u2064 speculating on pardons before\u200b a\u2063 fair trial would undermine \u2063the integrity of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/have-the-courts-been-compromised-too-where-are-the-righteous-judges-supreme-court-slows-president-trumps-pa-case\/\" title=\"Have the Courts Been Compromised Too?  Where are the Righteous Judges?  Supreme Court Slows President Trump\u2019s PA Case!\">court system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;It&#8217;s like trying to jump ahead of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/southern-baptist-ethics-arm-doubles-down-on-support-for-tennessee-red-flag-law-despite-pushback\/\" title=\"Despite opposition, Southern Baptist Ethics Arm backs Tennessee's's Red Flag Law.\">entire court system<\/a>, and I respect the judicial branches have\u200c got their job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Trusting the Voters<\/h3>\n<p>While Burgum avoided directly addressing allegations \u2062against Trump, such as \u200dattempts \u200dto overturn the\u2062 2020 elections, he emphasized the importance of trusting the voters. He stated, &#8220;We&#8217;ve got\u200d to trust the voters&#8221; when \u2063it comes to determining who is fit \u200cfor political office.<\/p>\n<p>Burgum\u2063 believes \u2063that as a governor, his duty is to serve all citizens, \u200bregardless of their political affiliation. He said, &#8220;When you&#8217;re plowing the roads, we&#8217;re plowing\u200b them for Republicans, Democrats, independents, for everybody,\u200c and that&#8217;s the job of the\u2064 executive \u200bbranch; that&#8217;s the job I&#8217;m running for. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re\u200b running, and absolutely, when I&#8217;m president, we will lead with respecting everybody.\u200c We\u2063 work for everybody.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Primary Debate Qualification<\/h3>\n<p>Burgum has successfully qualified for the first Republican primary debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Alongside Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Mike Pence, and Chris Christie, \u2062he \u200dhas met the criteria of polling at least 1% and receiving\u200c a minimum of \u200d40,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-shaped-hole-gop-field-heads-to-debate-with-plan-to-take-down-desantis\/\" title=\"GOP candidates prepare to challenge DeSantis in upcoming debate, aiming to fill the Trump-shaped void.\">000 individual campaign donations<\/a>.
