Gov. Doug Burgum Mocked For Saying Trump Will Only Serve 1 Term If Reelected
HuffPost
"President Trump, [if] he wins, he serves four years and won't be on the ballot again," the North Dakota governor told Fox News.
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R) was mocked on social media Monday after he said that if former President Donald Trump is reelected in November, he won’t try to stay in office for a third term.
Burgum, one of Trump’s potential choices for vice president, made the prediction on Fox News after anchor Martha MacCallum asked if he would have certified the 2020 election for President Joe Biden, against Trump’s wishes, as Vice President Mike Pence did.
“What would you have done in his shoes?” MacCallum asked Burgum.
Rather than answer her, the governor dismissed the question as “hypothetical” and responded that such a scenario “is not going to happen [again].”
His reasoning relied on the assumption that Trump would follow basic norms and rules, like the 22nd Amendment.
