Amazon founder and owner of The Washington Post Jeff Bezos privately pitched an alternative vice president pick to President Donald Trump, just months before the newspaper killed its endorsement for Kamala Harris, a new book has claimed.
The seeds of the Trump-Bezos relationship were sewn over a pivotal summer phone call in July 2024, when the billionaire gave a nod to North Dakota governor Doug Burgum, who has since been picked as Trump’s Secretary of the Interior, according to the book by Axios senior political reporter Alex Isenstadt.
