uh... to officially be running for president of the state for the g.o.p. nomination

first

it is that north Dakota governor doug burgram uh... dug welcome back

morning vine great to be with you

so what was week one like

well at first uh... five days were amazing we had this fantastic launch in

north Dakota

Thursday Friday in Iowa Saturday Sunday in New Hampshire

at a great reception

met lots of people that were excited to have us in the race excited to have

us come back so we're often running and

one thing we've learned is that that the

republican primary voters out there very concerned about the economy very

concerned about uh... Biden's energy policy and very concerned about national

security including the border and everything going on with china russia

north korea and that's what we're running on those three things the economy

energy and national security so we had some great conversations with uh...

citizens and of course uh...

coming from a small town in north Dakota

uh... we met a lot of people from small towns in iowa and hamster and really

understand that
