North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R), has announced that he will not run for a third term as governor.

This announcement came on Jan. 22, when the governor indicated that his term—ending on Dec. 14—would be his last. It came more than a month after he decided to withdraw his nomination for the Republican presidential candidate.
