SUMMARY
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum believes former President Trump could win the election regardless of his vice-presidential pick. When pressed on CNN’s “State of the Union” about his potential as Trump’s running mate, Burgum emphasized Trump’s strength with various voter demographics and the rarity of a VP pick significantly influencing election outcomes. Burgum stated that Trump does not need additional help to get reelected and that the decision is ultimately Trump's. Despite being considered a top VP contender, Burgum refrained from asserting his qualifications, focusing instead on Trump's broad appeal and electoral strengths.
