North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND) took the podium at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee to say former president Donald Trump will make the U.S. energy dominant if reelected.
The governor said President Joe Biden's green agenda looks like it was written by China and Iran claiming that his policies makes those nations richer and blamed the Democrat for soaring electricity bills.
Burgum is in his second term as governor of North Dakota and briefly launched a campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Although he was on the short list, former President Donald Trump did not select him as a vice presidential running mate, opting instead for Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) .
The Republican National Convention is in Milwaukee through Thursday where former President Donald Trump on Thursday will formally accept the party’s nomination for the 2024 Election.
Who he is: A businessman, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum has been in office since 2016. He briefly launched a campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, and was considered by former President Donald Trump as a vice presidential running mate.
What role he plays: Convention speaker
Key quote: "Serving as a governor with President Trump was like having a beautiful breeze on our back. He cut taxes and he cut red tape. Serving as a governor under Joe Biden has been like a gale force win in our face. Biden's war on energy hurts every American, because the cost of energy is in everything we use or touch every day."
When and where is the Republican National Convention?
The Republicans' convention will take place over four days, from July 15-18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
