DNC targets Kristi Noem for anticipated Trump endorsement: ‘New MAGA extremist’
EXCLUSIVE: DNC Targets Gov. Kristi Noem as Trump’s Newest Endorser
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has set its sights on Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD), labeling her as former President Donald Trump’s “newest endorser” ahead of the South Dakota Republican Party’s Monumental Leaders Rally on Friday.
In a press release scheduled for Friday evening, the DNC will introduce Noem as “the latest MAGA extremist to endorse Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential run.”
DNC spokeswoman Rhyan Lake, in a statement provided to the Washington Examiner, said, “Of course, Donald Trump’s first campaign trip in weeks is to visit South Dakota, ground zero for Trump’s anti-abortion agenda, where the governor thinks 10-year-old rape victims should be forced to give birth.”
Lake added, “Kristi Noem’s endorsement is also no surprise as she has spent her days in Congress and the governorship as one of the most right-wing elected officials in the country, pushing the hallmarks of the MAGA agenda — including stripping away Americans’ freedoms, supporting an effort to end Medicare as we know it, giving handouts to the ultra-wealthy, and making it easier for criminals to carry guns.”
“Trump might not venture out to campaign much these days, but every time he does, he reminds Americans just how extreme he is — and today is no different,” Lake concluded.
Monumental Leaders Rally: Trump and Noem Take Center Stage
The SDGOP rally, set to take place in Rapid City at 7:30 p.m. EDT, is expected to draw nearly 7,000 attendees. Both Trump and Noem will be featured as special guests, with Trump’s remarks being broadcast nationwide.
“Our Monumental Leaders rally will be a record-shattering event for the SDGOP, and we are proud to host President Donald J. Trump,” said SDGOP Chairman John Wiik. “As the front runner in the Republican Presidential Primary, President Trump will be joining us in South Dakota with Governor Kristi Noem. We are overwhelmed by the excitement.”
Speculation has been rife that Noem will officially endorse Trump’s 2024 presidential run during the event. The unusual nature of Trump’s visit, his first since Independence Day in 2020, along with South Dakota’s entire Senate delegation endorsing his opponent Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), has fueled curiosity about the purpose of the visit.
Noem, who previously stated that no other candidate had a ”path for victory” in the contest, has refrained from endorsing anyone else. She has also ruled out her own presidential run, according to a source close to the South Dakota governor.
Noem is being considered as a potential running mate for Trump in 2024. While sources close to the former president have indicated that he is not currently focused on a vice presidential pick, they acknowledge that Noem would certainly be a contender. Noem herself has expressed openness to the offer, stating that she would “of course” consider it.
If Trump were to choose the South Dakota Republican as his running mate, it would put him on equal footing with President Joe Biden, who also has a much younger woman on his ticket. This is seen as crucial for both men, as concerns about their ability to effectively serve another four-year term grow among the public.
