The former vice president has been slowly taking steps toward a 2024 presidential bid. “I expect before the month of June is out, we’ll let people know of our decision,” he said in a recent interview with NBC News. “If we choose to go forward, this race doesn’t really start until the August debate in Milwaukee.”

The North Dakota governor suggested in a recent interview that he was considering a 2024 bid. The popular Republican was re-elected by a 40-point margin in 2020. Previously a software entrepreneur, he sold a company to Microsoft in 2001 and remained as a senior executive at the company for several years.
