President-elect Donald Trump selected Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND) to be secretary of the Department of the Interior in a surprise announcement Thursday.
Trump made the announcement during an event at his Mar-a-Lago resort, saying that he had planned to reveal the nomination on Friday.
“We’re going to turn our country around,” the president-elect said Thursday evening as he commented that the results of the election, with him winning a second term, would stop another 1929 economic recession from happening.
