During his speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum emphasized the importance of American energy dominance. He posed the question to the crowd, asking, 'Who will make America energy dominant?' The crowd responded enthusiastically with 'Trump'.
Governor Burgum highlighted the connection between American energy, prosperity, and national security, stating that when President Trump unleashes American energy, it leads to prosperity and enhances national security.
He expressed his appreciation for serving as governor under the Trump administration, likening it to having a 'beautiful breeze at our back'. In contrast, Burgum described being governor under President Joe Biden as facing a 'gale force wind in our face'.
It is worth noting that Governor Burgum, a conservative second-term governor, had run against Trump in the GOP primary earlier this year but later suspended his campaign.
