North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum recently revealed that former President Donald Trump addressed him as 'Mr. Secretary' during a phone call, hinting at a potential Cabinet role. Burgum, who was previously considered for Trump's running mate, shared this information at the Republican National Convention.
While discussing his conversation with Trump, Burgum expressed interest in a Cabinet position but noted that such appointments would only be possible if Trump wins the upcoming election. He emphasized the need for focus and hard work leading up to the election.
Burgum praised Ohio Senator JD Vance as a 'solid pick' for the Republican ticket, highlighting their shared background as 'small town guys.' He commended Trump for his strength and courage in the face of recent events, including an assassination attempt over the weekend.
According to Burgum, Trump's language post-incident reflects a desire to unite the country and the Republican Party. He suggested that near-death experiences can lead to personal growth and change in individuals.
