Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND) is expected to jump into the 2024 fray this week, making the GOP field even more crowded.
A two-term governor, Burgum has maintained a somewhat lower national profile relative to other heavy hitters in the Republican primary, but he is hoping that his track record in North Dakota and a possible voter appetite for something new could boost his chances.Burgum grew up in Arthur, North Dakota. His father died when he was 14.
Burgum is no stranger to entering political races as an underdog. In the 2016 election cycle, Burgum was a political newcomer and managed to best Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem in a GOP primary before topping Democratic nominee Marvin Nelson in the general election. Burgum is armed with overwhelming Republican control over both chambers of the state legislature. But he has butted heads with his own party from time to time.
Like other Republican governors, Burgum has had to grapple with the culture wars. Although he went along with his party on many of those issues, Burgum appears to be more keen on economic and other domestic politics.
