Trump announces Doug Burgum as his pick for Secretary of the Interior

President-elect Donald Trump announced Thursday that he plans to select North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum as his nominee to be secretary of the Department of the Interior.

“We have a big announcement, and I’m not going to tell you it’s — I’m not going to tell you the name of his, the exact name,” Trump teased during his remarks at Mar-a-Lago for an America First Policy Institute event. “I think he’s an incredible person, he has an incredibly wonderful wife named Kathryn. So I’m not going to tell you—his name might be something like ‘Burgum.’ Burgum.”

“He’s from North Dakota. He’s being announced tomorrow for a very big position,” Trump added, before pointing and waving at Burgum.

Moments later, he announced that Burgum “will be heading up the Ministry of the Interior, and he will be fantastic.”
