Burgum: Trump Doesn’t Need Popular VP, It’s A Luxury

Axios reports:

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum said Sunday that Trump doesn’t need to pick a vice presidential candidate to cater to certain voter blocs, as he’s polling so well.

Burgum is reportedly on the short-list of potential vice presidential picks for Trump. The former president said Saturday that he’s made his pick and that person will attend Thursday’s presidential debate.

“I think we have to just look at the fact that President Trump could win this race regardless of who his vice president is. He’s got the luxury of not having to pick someone,” Burgum said during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
