Kristi Noem is perfect for a Trump ticket because she offsets two of his biggest weaknesses: (1) white women, and (2) the COVID fiasco.
She’s the 2024 version of Mike Pence, who was added to the GOP ticket in 2016 to bolster Trump’s appeal to a key group of GOP voters that was understandably skeptical about supporting him (evangelical Christians).
Which last are fully on board with Trump now, based on my experience with N. GA folks.
