It's been a wild week in North Dakota politics.
Former state Rep. Rick Becker announced a primary challenge to U.S. House incumbent Kelly Armstrong. But then, Armstrong left the race to run for governor because the incumbent there, Doug Burgum, opted not to seek a third term.
Many pieces are moving around the chess board of North Dakota politics. On this episode of Plain Talk, me and my co-host Chad Oban dig into them.
Can former state Sen. Tom Campbell, who is also running for governor, overcome the early advantages in terms of fundraising Armstrong has as a congressional incumbent?
Will Lt. Governor Tammy Miller join the governor's race? And if she does, to what extent will outgoing Gov. Doug Burgum support her financially?
Will Public Service Commissioner Julie Fedorchak get in the race?
Becker is currently the only Republican running for North Dakota's at-large seat in the House. Will others join that race?
We don't have answers to all those questions, but we certainly have some informed thoughts.
