With New Video, Gov. Doug Burgum of North Dakota Edges Closer to Republican Presidential Race
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum took another step toward entering the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, posting a YouTube video on Monday touting his rise from a small town boy to a self-made software entrepreneur and a successful governor who has cut red tape and taxes.
Although the video doesn’t mention it, Burgum has signed several new laws this year that restrict abortion rights and the rights of transgender people.

Another law — among the strictest in the nation — bans abortions throughout pregnancy with only slim exceptions up to six weeks’ gestation.
