Doug Burgum injured playing basketball, may miss GOP debate he spent millions to qualify for.

Republican Governor Doug⁣ Burgum’s Debate Dilemma

Republican presidential candidate and North Dakota governor Doug Burgum ⁢may miss the GOP presidential debate on‌ Wednesday night after suffering an ⁣injury during a game of ​pick-up⁣ basketball on ⁤Tuesday.

Burgum went to ⁤an‍ emergency room ‍Tuesday ‌night for⁢ a leg‍ injury and was discharged by Wednesday morning. His campaign told Fox News ⁤that it remains “unclear if he will be able to stand ‌at the debate.”

The unlucky break for the governor comes after he spent million of his personal‍ money ​to ⁣boost his campaign. The wealthy former Microsoft executive spent more than $700,000 on a scheme to qualify‍ for the debate—he gave anyone who donated at least ⁢$1 to his campaign a $20 gift card in return. Candidates ​need 40,000 unique donors to their campaign to make it on the stage.

Candidates participating in the Milwaukee debate are expected to ⁣participate in a walk-through of the venue. It is unclear whether Burgum will participate.
