North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum improved his chances to be named Trump's VP nominee when he falsely claimed President Biden was running a dictatorship.

Burgum: Under Joe Biden we're actually living under a dictatorship today where he's you know bypassing Congress on immigration policy, he's bypassing Congress on protecting our border, he's bypassing Congress on student loan forgiveness, and he's defying the Supreme Court.

I mean those are the things that authoritarians and dictators do is they don't follow our democratic processes and they just assert their own liberal view and that's what the Biden

It is the Republican-led House of Representatives that refused to take up the Senate immigration bill that was passed and would have been signed immediately into legislation by Biden.

Project 2025 is Trump's plan to install only sycophantic loyalists in government. Only TRump wants total presidential immunity on any act he takes.

Traitor Trump loves it when his surrogates transfer his immoral acts onto his political rivals.

Editor's note (Frances Langum): I think Trump is seriously considering Burgum for veep because Trump knows Burgum will spend his OWN money to get elected. But will Trump run alongside a guy who has way more money than Trump himself does?

Editor's note (Karoli): I agree with Fran, and would add that this URL would suggest that he's on the very, very short list, along with his friend JD Vance. It's possible, of course, that some enterprising Trumper has purchased some domains with an eye to selling it when the announcement is made, but it is certainly interesting, if not dispositive.
