Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND) will not commit to pardoning former President Donald Trump should he be convicted.

Currently, the former president faces 91 indictments both from federal and state prosecutors. Burgum would not say whether or not he would personally pardon Trump if elected because his cases haven't "played out."

LAUNCH TIME: IS ANYONE IN THE 2024 GOP FIELD BESIDES TRUMP READY FOR PRIME TIME?

"Whether it’s for Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, or Donald Trump, everybody is innocent until proven guilty in this country," Burgum said on Meet the Press on Sunday. "But if somebody came up and said this person’s been accused, there hasn’t evidence — there hasn't been one day of a trial in 2025, would you pardon them? Those are hypothetical questions, and any governor that understands his role would never speculate on that because it hasn’t played out."

"It’s like trying to jump ahead of the entire court system, and I respect the judicial branches have got their job."

Burgum skirted questions about whether Trump made a concerted effort to overturn the 2020 elections, whether Trump should even be allowed to run amid his legal cases, and did not offer a direct response to Gov. Ron DeSantis calling Trump followers "listless vessels." Instead, the North Dakota governor suggested that "we’ve got to trust the voters" when it comes to who is successful in political office.

"One thing I know about the executive Branch, we work for everyone. When you’re plowing the roads, we’re plowing them for Republicans, Democrats, independents, for everybody, and that’s the job of the executive branch; that's the job I’m running for," Burgum said. "That’s why we’re running, and absolutely, when I’m president, we will lead with respecting everybody. We work for everybody."

Burgum has qualified for the first Republican primary debate on Wednesday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, and Tim Scott have qualified for the debate and signed the loyalty pledge, with Mike Pence and Chris Christie also qualifying and promising to sign it. In order to qualify for the debate, candidates must be polling at a minimum of 1% and have at least 40,000 individual donations to their campaign. Candidates have until Monday to qualify.
