South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s election-year fight with fellow Republicans in the Legislature has spurred criticism she is neglecting her job to angle for the White House
FILE - South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem presents a United States flag in Sioux Falls, S.D., on July 11, 2020. Noem's election-year fight with fellow Republicans in the Legislature has spurred criticism she is neglecting her job to angle for the White House. PIERRE, S.D. — — South Dakota Gov.
“It helps her if they don’t pass more so than if they did,” Buchanan said. “Trump has primed Republican leaders to think about the unfaithful within their own ranks." But her move onto the list of Republican White House aspirants suffered a major stumble last year when she backed away from a pledge to sign a bill that would have banned transgender girls and college-age women from competing in school sports that match their gender identity.
Noem has adopted some of Trump’s bombast, name-calling fellow Republicans on Twitter when they do something she doesn't like. But it's an approach that has backfired at times in the small government town of Pierre, where lawmakers pride themselves on decorum and often refer to one another as “friend” or “good representative” during debates.
