North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum is joining the growing 2024 primary field, making him the latest Republican to challenge former President Trump for the party’s nomination.
Burgum announced his candidacy in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal.
“We need a change in the White House. We need a new leader for a changing economy. That’s why I’m announcing my run for president today,” he wrote.
