"Trump To Nominate North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum For Secretary Of Interior"

"WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump plans to nominate North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum to be his secretary of Interior, he announced Thursday evening at a gala.

Trump teased the pick during a speech at Mar-a-Lago during an America First Policy Institute dinner, where he said he'd be appointing Burgum on Friday to a "very big position." Moments later, Trump decided to let the news slip early, telling the crowd that he's picked Burgum to lead the Department of Interior.

Burgum, a 68-year-old wealthy software executive, ran unsuccessfully against Trump for the Republican nomination last year, failing to generate much buzz and dropping out last December before voting got underway."

Joey Garrison and Francesca Chambers report for USA TODAY November 14, 2024.
