North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum dropped his bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination on Monday after repeatedly polling in the single digits and failing to qualify for the third and fourth GOP debates.
In his statement, Burgum criticized the Republican National Committee’s “clubhouse debate requirements” that kept him from qualifying for November and December debates.
I guess he distributed some wealth at least. Whichever millionaire donor that backed him just got suckered out of like a million dollars worth of gift cards.
While I’m sure Burgum has some backers, he himself is “independently” wealthy. He owned a software development company that he sold to Microsoft. So I wonder if he just bankrolled a lot of that himself.
