evidence: North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum drops out of 2024 presidential race [...] Burgum's exit narrows the field yet again as rivals like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley pitch themselves as viable alternatives to former President Donald Trump, the front-runner despite his many legal troubles and controversies. (He denies wrongdoing.) [...] It's unclear what is next for Burgum. He is able to seek another term as governor and he repeatedly denied interest in a Cabinet position in another Republican administration.
