Meet the Press interviews during 2024: on Government Reform


Doug Burgum: I've been under the Biden dictatorship with all the rules

I think we have to say that there was a smooth transition, and everybody in both parties is going to challenge elections if they don't think they're fair. And in 2020 with Covid there was a myriad set of new rules and regulations that we had never seen before. The idea that this is a threat to democracy, as a governor in North Dakota today, I've been living under what I call the Biden dictatorship because of all the rules and regulations.

Doug Burgum: I'm not going to comment on an election before it happens

Q: Will you commit to accepting the election results?

A: I'm not going to comment on an election before it happens.

Q: You won't commit to accepting the election results?

A: If they're free and fair, of course. But this hypothetical question that everyone keeps asking, the Democrats won't accept it if there are irregularities in the fall. Ask Joe Biden if he would accept it if he thought it wasn't free and fair. So, the premise that only one party gets asked this question is just a false premise.

Kristi Noem: I've been on defense fighting regulations and rules

I would say that every day as governor when Trump was in the White House I was on offense. I was able to go out there and solve problems for Americans and for people in my state. With Biden in the White House now I've been on defense. It's been a consistent fight against regulations and administrative rules and interpretations and even lawsuits from the federal government on what we're doing.

Tim Scott: I expect election to be fair and Trump to be elected

I think we have to listen to what President Trump said and not what the reporters said that he actually said. What he said was he expects there to be an honest election. He expects the results will be clear and for him to be successful. I expect him to be successful as well. And so I expect the election to be fair, and I expect Donald Trump to be our next president.
