Henry J. Gomez is a senior national political reporter for NBC News.

Rep. Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota, who was backed by former President Donald Trump, won his state’s Republican nomination for governor, defeating Lt. Gov. Tammy Miller, the Associated Press projects. North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, who decided against seeking a third term and has emerged as a potential running mate for Trump, had supported Miller as his successor. But Trump weighed in late last month with an endorsement for Armstrong, who was considered the favorite to win the primary.

Armstrong, 47, has represented North Dakota’s at-large congressional district since 2019. He previously served as chair of the state’s Republican Party. “Since we started, we’ve gone from one end of the state to the other,” Armstrong said of his campaign during a May 30 debate with Miller. “We’ve done over 100 media interviews, and we have got the opportunity to meet with 1000s of North Dakotans across the state. And that won’t change when I’m governor.
