Former President Donald Trump has vowed to take extreme actions to secure the U.S.-Mexico border if he wins November's presidential election.
According to the research, even among those who might have connections to immigration, Trump's calls for increased border security and possibly his anti-immigrant rhetoric are having an impact.
If Trump wins back the presidency, he has vowed to increase border security and organize mass deportations, which he claims could include a million people.
In recent weeks, figures like South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott have been mentioned as potential finalists, though Trump is reportedly "Disappointed" in Noem following her admission in an upcoming book that she killed a young dog of hers because it was attacking livestock on her family's ranch.
"Now, reports have emerged that Trump may be eyeing North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum as a possible vice-presidential pick. Burgum has emerged before in the swirling conversations about who would pack the most punch on a 2024 Trump ticket, but now, as the general election creeps closer, his name has generated a lot of media buzz," Right Side Broadcasting Network reported.
Sources told Axios that Burgum is moving up the list after Trump and former first lady Melania Trump hosted Burgum and his wife at Mar-a-Lago for an Easter brunch.
"Two sources familiar with Trump's thinking said he likes Burgum's measured demeanor and his gubernatorial experience - and sees Burgum as reliable and low-drama," Axios, which first reported the story, noted.
