North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, who is reportedly on former President Donald Trump's vice president shortlist, maintained his position on Sunday that President Joe Biden is acting like a dictator.

During Burgum's appearance on CNN's "State of the Union," the network that will host the presidential debate on Thursday, the interview started out on a charged note.

Biden has shown he has debating prowess by convincing "America that that laptop was fake," Burgum began. The subsequent result during the 2020 election was a social and televised media blackout of mentioning Hunter Biden's laptop, as revealed in the Twitter Files.
