North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum: Biden is 'not capable' of serving as commander in chief
North Dakota GOP Gov. Doug Burgum, who is widely considered to be on the short list to be former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential nominee, on Sunday said that President Joe Biden is “not capable of serving” as commander in chief.
North Dakota GOP Gov. Doug Burgum, who is widely considered to be on the short list to be former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential nominee, on Sunday said that President Joe Biden is “not capable of serving” as commander in chief.
“Biden ... you know, isn’t capable of serving right now,” Burgum told NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” speaking days after Biden and Trump met for the first presidential debate of the election cycle.
“All of America saw,” Burgum said, adding that “our adversaries saw it. Putin saw it. Xi saw it. The ayatollah saw it. I mean, the nation — we keep talking about elections, we’re at a greater national security risk today than we were on Thursday, because the commander in chief showed he’s not capable of serving.”
Burgum’s comments come after days of Democrats scrambling to spin Biden’s admitted lackluster performance in the debate, which some in his party called “babbling” and “hoarse.”
The governor also answered questions from moderator Kristen Welker about whether he’s spoken to Trump about joining him on the ticket as a running mate.
