Plus, the North Dakota law on abortion (see link below) became an issue attached by GOP rivals/Burgum skeptics to the gov's possible selection, knowing that Trump is on edge about putting that issue front and center in some campaign battlegrounds. https://apnews.com/article/north…

But that same lack of allies/advisers on nat'l level made him somewhat ill-equipped to navigate the turbulent waters of Trump's orbit, where political capital, celebrity, family, and others can tilt discussions and one's standing... Burgum remained liked, but not always THE one.

What's interesting about the VP pick is that going back to the debates last year, Trump expressed admiration for Burgum. Told friends "central casting," "nice guy," "really successful," etc. And some Trump allies liked that he didn't have a huge team of aides and donors...
