The senator said Trump has expressed interest in North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R) and has spoken approvingly about his moderate position on abortion, an issue Democrats want to put front and center.

Reports have indicated that no women remain in Trump’s top choices, with Trump speaking poorly about Kari Lake.
