Doug Burgum, the little-known governor of North Dakota, announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for president on Wednesday morning, further crowding the Republican field.
Mr Burgum, who won re-election in staunchly Republican North Dakota last year, will make his announcement official on Wednesday morning. In a preview video released on Tuesday, he previewed a tagline calling himself “a new leader for a changing economy,” indicating a campaign focused on kitchen-table issues rather than culture war bombast.
