Burgum says policies are ‘winning issues’ for Trump amid personal attacks on Harris: Full interview
Meet the Press: Interview with Republican Governor Doug Bergum of North Dakota
Economic Plan Set to Win the Election?
Governor Doug Bergum of North Dakota joins Meet the Press to discuss the upcoming presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Trump’s recent comments about Harris have raised concerns about his rhetoric on the debate stage. Bergum, however, believes that Trump’s economic plan will be the deciding factor in the election.
Trump’s suggestion to pay for child care through tariffs was met with skepticism. Bergum defended Trump’s approach, stating that tariffs would help create a sovereign wealth fund to pay for important programs. He also referenced Trump’s previous support for the child tax credit and its impact on reducing child poverty.
Soybean Farmers and Tariffs
Bergum’s home state of North Dakota has been affected by Trump’s tariffs, with soybean farmers losing 70% of their market. Bergum believes that processing and adding value to products in the US would help farmers and create jobs. He cited the state’s efforts to build processing plants for soybeans as a positive example.
Election Security and Threats
Trump’s recent posts on social media, which threatened to prosecute political opponents, have raised concerns about election security. Bergum believes that Trump’s statements are a response to a broader concern about free and fair elections. He emphasizes the need for database cleanups and common sense policies to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
Cheney’s Warning
The Cheneys, including former Vice President Dick Cheney and Congresswoman Liz Cheney, have expressed their intention to vote for Kamala Harris. Bergum is skeptical about the impact of their endorsement, citing their well-known criticism of Trump. He joked about the unlikely alliance between the Cheneys and Senator Bernie Sanders.
Governor Doug Bergum’s appearance on Meet the Press provided an opportunity to discuss the themes and policies that will be central to the upcoming election. His defense of Trump’s economic plan and efforts to address concerns about the electoral process demonstrate the Governor’s commitment to his constituents and the country. The debate is set to unfold on Tuesday, and we will continue to follow its developments.
