North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R) announced gift cards as an incentive for donations to his 2024 presidential campaign Monday afternoon. 

In a series of Twitter posts, Burgum said the first 50,000 people who donated $1 to his campaign would receive a $20 Visa or Mastercard gift card. He said the gift cards are a response to “Bidenflation,” a term sometimes used by Republicans to refer to recent inflation occurring during President Biden’s administration. 

Burgum announced his presidential campaign early last month in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, stating the economy must be the country’s top priority. He said Biden “failed to articulate” an “economic vision for the country” in his video for his own 2024 campaign
