President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday he plans to name North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum to lead the Department of Interior.

“We’re going to do things with energy and with land, Interior that is going to be incredible,” Trump said during a Thursday event at Mar-a-Lago. A clip of the event was captured on CSPAN.

Burgum, who has served two terms as governor of North Dakota, was among the field of Republican candidates for president during the primaries before endorsing Trump.

As governor, Burgum has railed against what he sees as government overreach and bureaucracy under the Biden administration, especially on energy policy.

1. He is from a huge empty western state

But I can almost guarantee that he gets some Democratic votes. Maybe the majority. Rubio will too.

There are no guard rails any longer.
