(R-ND) warned not to underestimate President Joe Biden’s debate abilities, saying, "When he needs to, he can step up."
Burgum joined CNN on Sunday morning to discuss this week’s debate between Biden and former President Donald Trump. He also noted that, despite criticisms of Biden’s mental acuity, he has been able to outperform expectations at major addresses like the State of the Union address.
"There has been a real effort on the Biden team to try to lower expectations, but I think we have to — look, the guy’s run for office more than a dozen times, he’s run for president four times, he’s been campaigning since President Nixon was in office," Burgum said. "This guy has got the ability. We’ve seen it. We’ve seen him in debate four years ago, we’ve seen him in the State of the Union this year, that when he needs to, he can step up."
