How Noem’s struggles at home may enhance White House chances
Associated Press— South Dakota Gov. “It’s definitely made me much more supportive of her to see her sign this.” But some people in both parties see that bill, and others, as aimed largely at Noem’s national ambitions. “You have a governor who is trying to get her name out and sadly that’s what a lot of these bills are — it’s to be used for election material, not to affect any real policy change,” said Democratic state Sen. “It looks to me like we’re trying to out-crazy Texas and Florida.” Noem has adopted some of Trump’s bombast, name-calling fellow Republicans on Twitter when they do something she doesn’t like. She griped that two Republican lawmakers were acting like “wolves in sheep’s clothing” when they floated a ban on vaccine mandates last year. The “breakdown is just not staying in touch with people, it’s not communicating,” said Republican Rep. Rhonda Milstead, who was appointed to the Legislature by Noem but became an outspoken critic after Noem effectively killed the trans athlete bill.
