didn t say one thing that he will do about that. joe biden has. the c.h.i.p.s. act and the investments we re seeing and the i. rocky mountains a., it s working. in fairness i was asking him about donald trump and less about his economic proposals in fairness to him on there, but i take your point there. on the hunter biden situation, just 26% of democrats have a great deal of confidence in the justice department these days. as you pointed out, nobody is happy with our current systems whether you re a democrat, a republican, or an independent. what do you think the president could do to signal to the country that, hey, i m out of the way here. hunter biden is getting treated the way anybody else would get treated. is there something he could do differently than he s doing now? i hope the justice department makes that case. look, i m the parent of a 16- and 22-year-old. the bidens love their son, but they also know that he s got his struggles, and he s not on the ballot. joe biden is
now just 24% of americans say they want biden to run again and just 30% want trump to win as trump has been indicted again and again and again and again, biden has chosen against taking him on in a meaningful way right now. that choice and the choice of republicans have left a massive moral vacuum in our nation, who is defending the guardrail? the biden campaign is defending president s record in a their 25 million ad campaign which will run in battle ground states. there are some who say america is failing. not joe biden. he believes our best days are ahead because he believes in the american people. those who bet against america are learning how wrong they are. joining me now is one of the republican candidates who will definitely be on that debate stage in milwaukee on wednesday night. it s north dakota governor doug burgum. governor burgum, thanks for joining us on meet the press.
our story and telling the story of what we ve been able to get done in north dakota. you are running for president. you don t think people need to know where you stand on these issues? you re asking to be the next guardrail of the american democracy. at the end of the day, this is the biggest stress test our country s faced in the last 20 years. yes, part of the stress test, whether it s for hunter biden, joe biden, donald trump, everybody s innocent until they re proven guilty in this country, and lots of accusations are being tossed around, but i think if we re focused on january, that s when the first caucuses and primaries are, that s when the voters do decide. i do trust the voters. i trust if we can show that we re a credible alternative that we can deliver the things that americans are looking for because americans do want this country to move forward. they want presidential elections to be about the future, a vision for the future then we have to offer that. if i m just one
faith in that system. he keeps missing that opportunity. on the one hand they would argue, hey, he s president and frankly, look, whatever no voter will vote on this. right. but it is hugely important what he s pulled off with japan and south korea. yeah. i mean, listen, there are thai few things he can run on. i m confused about the bidenomics thing, you re trying to convince them that their own impressions about the economy is wrong. they keep saying we have the c.h.i.p.s. act and we have the i.r.a. at the end of the day, you can t convince someone how they re feeling, what they re feeling about the economy is wrong and that s what the election comes down to and i get they re trying to have a proactive message when people simply feel differently. i know the charges against hunter are very different from the charges against trump, and we shouldn t make them
donald trump doesn t seem to take that pledge seriously, should we take that pledge seriously? well, you can take my pledge signed seriously, when i say i m going to do something i do it, but for me, i ll be voting for republican in november 2024, but we ll do everything we can every minute of the day to make sure that person is me because i know when i m president of the united states, we can take this country in a positive direction. we can have an election where people are actually voting for someone as opposed to against the other party. governor doug burgum, republican of north dakota, we ll watch on wednesday night. please stay safe on the trail. thank you. thank you, chuck. earlier this summer i traveled to fargo, north dakota, to sit down with an extenze ev interview with governor burgum, and we talked about a lot of issues under the sun and if you want to know his stance on the issues check out his interview in full on meetthepress.com and burgum got an unusual endorse
