Melania Trump’s Easter Brunch Guest Sparks VP Speculation

At an executive meeting night rally in Las Vegas on February 8 (local time), former President Donald Trump, a Republican presidential candidate, listens to a speech by North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who supports him. Las Vegas, USA / AP Newsis 

Axios reported on the 28th (local time) that North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum is emerging as a vice presidential candidate for Donald Trump, a Republican presidential candidate.

Last month, on the 31st, celebrating Easter, Melania Trump, Trump’s wife, invited Governor Burgum and his wife to brunch at Mar-a-Lago, their private resort in Florida.

Also, it is said that Trump has frequently mentioned Burgum during discussions with his close associates in recent weeks. Sources say that Trump prefers Burgum’s cautious attitude and gubernatorial experience, viewing him as reliable. This is similar to the characteristics he mentioned when he nominated Michael Pence as his Vice President for the 2026 presidential election. At that time, Pence was the governor of Indiana.

Previously, Trump had praised Governor Burgum as an ardent supporter of his 2016 and early 2020 presidential campaigns. After failing in the 2020 presidential election, he also suggested that Burgum would play an essential role in his administration.

Burgum is a successful entrepreneur who ran an accounting software company. In particular, he is expected to be a Tech-Guru, capable of leading what the federal government needs to prepare for the era of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing. In addition to his successful private sector experience, he has proven himself in the political arena, serving a second term as governor of North Dakota. He is expected to consolidate the votes of moderate conservatives and centrists and fill Trump’s shortcomings.

In addition to Burgum, the individuals who are being mentioned as potential vice presidential candidates to be decided before the Republican National Convention in July, where the presidential and vice presidential candidates will be nominated, include Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the youngest female senator, Katie Britt, who opposed President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, Senator Marco Rubio, the only black Republican Senator Tim Scott, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, Representative Elise Stefanik, and Senator J.D. Vance.
