Kristi Noem visits Texas border amidst VP rumors
Gov. Kristi Noem Takes Action at the Southern Border Amidst Political Battle
Gov. Kristi Noem, a rising star in the Republican party, made a powerful statement during her visit to the southern border on Friday. As tensions between Gov. Greg Abbott and the federal government continue to escalate, Noem’s visit draws attention to her potential role as a top vice presidential pick for former President Donald Trump.
“Every time that I come to the southern border, it is clear that the situation has deteriorated more and more. Texas has carved out a small zone of security in the middle of this warzone,” Noem emphasized. “Now, the Biden Administration is undermining them. Not only is Joe Biden failing to secure the border — he is actively trying to stop Governor Abbott and Texas from the work that they are doing to secure the border. South Dakota stands with them, and we will continue to do everything we can to help secure the border.”
Noem, who referred to the border as a “warzone,” conducted a boat tour with the Texas National Guard and the Texas Department of Public Safety. She witnessed firsthand the deteriorating conditions and expressed her support for Texas’ efforts to secure the border.
Republican Governors Rally Behind Abbott
At least 25 Republican governors are backing Gov. Abbott’s showdown against President Joe Biden over the growing immigration problem at the southern border. Abbott challenged a Supreme Court ruling that granted control over 2 1/2 miles of border adjacent Texas city land to the Biden administration. In an open letter to the White House, Abbott argued that Texas has a “constitutional right to self-defense.”
“We stand in solidarity with our fellow Governor, Greg Abbott, and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy, including razor wire fences, to secure the border,” the governors wrote in a joint statement.
Noem was among the 25 governors who issued the joint statement, reaffirming her commitment to defending the border. During her visit, she emphasized the importance of protecting the United States for future generations.
As a staunch advocate for border security, Noem has a track record of taking action. She was the first governor to send National Guard soldiers to the border three years ago and repeated the gesture last summer. Her visit to the border further highlights her dedication to this issue.
Noem’s Potential Role in a Second Trump Administration
Noem’s visit to the southern border has sparked speculation about her potential role in a second Trump administration. As contenders jockey to become Trump’s running mate, Noem has expressed her willingness to consider the position.
“If President Trump is going to be back in the White House, I’d do all I can to help him be successful,” Noem stated.
Her early endorsement of Trump during the 2016 campaign and her active involvement in his re-election campaign demonstrate her strong support for the former president.
Immigration has become the top issue facing the nation, according to a recent Harvard/Harris poll. The poll found that 64% of respondents believe the immigration crisis at the border is worsening, and 68% believe the administration should make it tougher to enter the U.S. illegally.
Noem’s visit to the southern border serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to address this pressing issue.

How did the governors express their support for Governor Abbott’s challenge to the Biden administration’s handling of the border crisis?
President, the governors expressed their support for Abbott and criticized the Biden administration’s handling of the border crisis.
The governors stated, “We write to express our support for the visiting entity in Gov. Abbott’s challenge to the Biden administration’s confiscation of sovereign land on the border. This action sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the rights and sovereignty of all states. We stand with Gov. Abbott, who is steadfastly defending the Constitution and the rights of his constituents.”
This united front from Republican governors highlights the deepening divide between the Biden administration and conservative-led states over the immigration issue. The governors argue that the federal government’s failure to secure the border not only poses a threat to national security but also burdens states with the responsibility of dealing with illegal immigration.
Noem: A Potential Vice Presidential Candidate?
Noem’s visit to the border has also sparked speculation about her political ambitions. As a staunch ally of former President Trump, Noem’s actions align with his hardline stance on immigration and border security. With rumors swirling about a potential Trump presidential run in 2024, many see Noem as a potential vice presidential pick.
Noem’s strong rhetoric and actions at the border showcase her commitment to conservative principles and her willingness to stand up to the Biden administration. Her support for Gov. Abbott and the other Republican governors further cements her role as a leading figure in the Republican party.
As the 2024 election looms, Noem’s visit to the border serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing the immigration crisis. It also underscores the political battle between conservative-led states and the federal government. The border issue will undoubtedly remain a key point of contention in future elections, with candidates like Noem emphasizing their commitment to securing the border and protecting American sovereignty.
Conclusion
Gov. Kristi Noem’s visit to the southern border amidst the political battle between Gov. Greg Abbott and the federal government highlights her potential as a top vice presidential pick for former President Donald Trump. With her strong rhetoric and actions, Noem makes it clear that she stands firmly with Abbott and other Republican governors in their fight to secure the border and protect American sovereignty. As the immigration issue continues to dominate the political landscape, Noem’s stance on the border crisis positions her as a prominent figure in the Republican party and a potential contender in the 2024 election.
