North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer said he won't run to replace
Gov. Doug Burgum after the incumbent governor announced Monday he wouldn't
pursue a third term.
"I'm not running for governor," he told POLITICO in an interview, calling it a "logical question" following Burgum's announcement.
Cramer (R-N.D.), who came to the Senate in 2018 and is up
for reelection in 2024, said he wants to continue to accumulate seniority in a
second term in office.
"In the second six-year term, you probably like
quadruple your influence," he said. "Seniority is probably more
important."
Burgum said he wouldn't seek reelection to the highest
office in Bismarck shortly after dropping his presidential bid and endorsing
former President Donald Trump.
The state's other GOP senator, John Hoeven, previously
served for ten years as governor.

Rep. Kelly Armstrong won't seek reelection to North Dakota's
sole House seat and will run to replace Doug Burgum as governor, he announced
Tuesday.
"North Dakotans will always do better when we are in
charge of our own destiny," Armstrong (R-N.D.) said in a statement.
"That’s why I’ve decided to come home to run for Governor."
The announcement came mere hours after Sen. Kevin Cramer
(R-N.D.) told POLITICO he would not run for the office. Burgum said he would
not seek a third term on Monday.
Armstrong first came to the House in 2019 after previously
serving as chair of the North Dakota Republican Party. He voted to certify
President Joe Biden's win in the 2020 election and voted to codify the right to
same-sex marriage in 2022.

Lead GOP negotiator: No border package vote this week, 'very
hopeful' on deal text
Senators had hoped to be ready to vote on a deal as soon as
this week — but there were already signs that was looking increasingly
unlikely.
By JORDAIN CARNEY and URSULA PERANO01/23/2024, 4:03PM ET
Sen. James Lankford, the lead GOP negotiator on a
border-foreign aid package, said there won’t be a vote on the bipartisan
proposal this week as senators work to iron out final sticking points.
Instead, Lankford (R-Okla.) said he’s “very hopeful” that
he, Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) can release the text of
the deal they have been negotiating sometime this week.
“It could be later on this week if all the things continue
to come together,” Lankford said. But, he added, there “certainly” wouldn't be
a vote this week.
Murphy added that negotiators are working “as fast as we
can. … [But] there’s still some issues left to solve.”

“There is no reason for us to wait weeks to get this bill on
the floor. And so I am hopeful that our Republican colleagues will work with us
to wrap up the supplemental — both the policy changes and the funding necessary
to effectuate the policy changes — in the next few days so that we can answer
the call for Ukraine,” Murphy said.
Senate Republicans spent most of their closed-door lunch
discussing the negotiations, with some airing frustrations about the length of
the talks and concerns that leadership could force a quick vote. Some
conservatives are also pitching breaking up the components of the
border-foreign aid deal into individual pieces that would each get their own
vote.
“Several points of view came out … at decibel levels a
little higher than normal,” said Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.).
Braun summed up the frustration during the lunch meeting:
“It’s taken so long, and now there’s talk about maybe getting something to the
floor and voting on it in a day or two. I think that would cause a real
uproar.”
Lankford, asked about some of the feedback from his
colleagues, added that “everybody wants to read it. … Everybody wants to be
able to go through it..”
“They’re all frustrated they’re not in the room,” he said.
Senators had hoped to be ready to vote on a deal as soon as
this week — but there were already signs that it was looking increasingly
unlikely.
“There are a few items still outstanding. So … we're not on
a glide path to get this done this week,” Senate GOP Whip John Thune (R-S.D.)
told reporters earlier Tuesday.
But negotiators and leadership signaled Tuesday that they
still believe they are close to a deal. Even if they can get something through
the Senate, it could still face a heavy lift in the House, where a growing
number of conservatives are wary of additional Ukraine aid.
"We will give members time to read the text before we
vote, that's for sure. And as for amendments and how to deal with the floor,
Leader [Mitch] McConnell and I will have to work that out once we've come to an
agreement,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters.

McConnell keeps his distance from Trump on N.H. primary day
“I don't have any news to make today. We're all watching New
Hampshire with great interest,” the Senate GOP leader said.

Mitch McConnell is still keeping his distance from Donald
Trump — even as New Hampshire primary voters cast ballots that could solidify
his grip on the GOP nomination.
Asked about his avoidance of a Trump endorsement during his
weekly briefing with reporters, McConnell said he’s “stayed out of” the
presidential primary and “when I change my mind on that, I’ll let you all
know.”
“I don't have any news to make today. We're all watching New
Hampshire with great interest,” McConnell added.
McConnell is not the only member of Senate Republican
leadership to sidestep a Trump endorsement thus far. Both Minority Whip John
Thune (R-S.D.) and Conference Vice Chair Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) have also stayed
away.

But as Trump continues to push toward the party's nomination
— the field has narrowed to only him and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley —
Senate Republicans are beginning to get off the fence and into his camp.
McConnell has previously said he will support the Republican nominee, whomever
that may be.
McConnell’s relationship with Trump may prove even more
politically decisive over the next few weeks if the Senate manages to strike a
border deal that could unlock the White House's stalled national security
emergency spending plan. Trump has indicated he’s against the still-in flux
agreement, which would include aid for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and the border —
all top priorities for McConnell.
