On Sunday, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, a former GOP presidential contender and possible VP choice for former President Trump, praised the significant progress that the former president made during his recent campaign tour of the West Coast.
He also argued that President Joe Biden was unable to keep up with Trump’s pace.
“Wow, I wish America could see President Trump on the stump like I’ve seen him in the last 72 hours,” Burgum said during a recent appearance on Fox News.
“I mean, first of all, I spent my career in technology. I knew a lot of super hardworking tech CEOs, but nobody works harder than President Trump. I mean, the number of speeches he gave, the number of hands he’s shaken, his hand, literally, like people shaking his hand so hard he’s got it bruised, but the guy just keeps on going.” Burgum continued.
“And roundtables, talking to people about the issues that matter to them, listening and curious and digging in. I mean, it’s impossible to imagine Joe Biden doing one of these events, much less back-to-back to back-to-back for 72 hours, flying around between Arizona and Nevada, Northern California, Southern California. It’s really incredible. Burgum added.
Less than five months remain until November’s election, and polls indicate that Trump and Biden are in a tight contest.
Biden, who has appeared emaciated or appeared to lose his train of thought at times, has attempted to dismiss concerns about his mental health and physical fitness while Trump contends with a flurry of criminal cases while seeking a second term. Biden is currently 81 years of age.
Burgum, who is one of the Republicans to whom Trump’s campaign has purportedly sent vetting materials during the search for a running mate, also contended that the electorate’s enthusiasm for this year’s election is good news for Trump in the run up to his anticipated rematch with Biden.
