With the Nov. 5 election fast approaching, Burgum appeared on Meet the Press Sunday and was confronted by several polls showing how close the race is between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. A RealClearPolitics poll average from Sunday morning showed Trump has a slight 0.2 lead.

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker asked Burgum whether Trump had a “problem” with female voters after citing one poll.

“I think Trump’s closing messages go beyond gender. They go beyond identity. They go beyond race, and they go beyond all these things because what he talks about every day is the things that affect all Americans, whether you’re a Democrat, an Independent, or a Republican,” Burgum said. “So, I think the issues he’s talking about are resonating with voters, and I think when you see in the polls that we have a race that’s very close, but President Trump is outperforming in all these polls where he was in ’16 and ’20. So I’m very confident that the message that he’s delivering that lifts up everyone is going to be the winning message on Tuesday.”

While Burgum was once Trump’s opponent in the 2024 Republican primary, he is now stumping for the party’s nominee across the country. Trump earned the endorsement of nearly every one of his Republican opponents, except former Gov. Asa Hutchinson, former Gov. Chris Christie, and former Vice President Mike Pence, who all opted out of endorsing either Trump or Harris.

“We know that polls vary a lot based on who you’re sampling. You know age, rural, and urban, all of these things can matter,” Burgum went on. “It’s a tight race that will be decided on Tuesday, but the momentum in the last week that I felt on the ground, including yesterday being at that Penn State football game, is that the energy from all demographics is very, very positive, and in Pennsylvania, Trump’s going to win because of the energy issue. He’s going to win Michigan because of the autoworkers. I think in some of these swing states it’s in Trump’s favor.”
