 Noem looks to bounce back onto Trump’s VP shortlist
by Alex Gangitano - 06/09/24 12:00 PM ET

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) is a longtime big, bold supporter of former President Trump, and that loyalty has made her a darling of MAGA world.

Noem, a second-term governor who has served since 2018, isn’t shy about touting when she is in contact with the former president and made her support for him as president clear. Especially notable is when the two spent the July 4 holiday together at Mount Rushmore in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Noem, 51, has been a staunch Trump ally since he became the GOP nominee in 2016, first backing Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) candidacy but then turning to Trump. For his 2024 run, she was an early endorser of the former president, backing his bid in August.

And Trump endorsed Noem’s first gubernatorial run, which made her the first female governor of South Dakota. She previously served as a member of Congress for eight years.

When Trump confirmed a list of names floated as potential vice presidential contenders during a February event in South Carolina, he listed Noem and said she has “been incredible fighting” for him.

She would have been an excellent pick -- but her release of her book with the statement she killed her dog, just isn't going to fly.  It is unfortunate as she also would have made an excellent president, she's a good conservative and a fighter.

Yeah, nobody likes people who abuse or kill dogs.  She's done.

Keep on "bouncing", Ms. Noem -- right out the door.

That ship has sailed, I suspect.

That's because nobody has ever had to deal with a dog killing livestock or biting humans.
 
Instead they think of cruelly assassinating a little fuzzy yapper dog who is "oh so cute".

Send them out for a rerun of CUJO.

But what do you expect from a bunch of (sub)urban dumbasses who try to adopt coyotes.

 

Too much of America has grown up on the pharm instead of the farm.

No, she doesn't.  How can "intelligent" people still believe this headline?

Unless Trump needs a bounce in the polls, he'd be wise to announce his VP pick as late as possible. I have little doubt that they are going to soon drop Brandon like a hot potato and Harris won't be fair behind. I believe that their days are limited.

I think that it is a disadvantage that the GOP convention is being held before the DEM convention.

I loved this post. Especially the Cujo part.
