1. Noem has been a GOP political figure for years.
2. Kari Lake is an outsider and a loose cannon. I'm not even sure she's trustworthy under any circumstances. I don't see the GOP leadership selecting a former Obama donor for a VP spot under any circumstances.
3. Lake is already running in the primary for the GOP in the Arizona Senate race this year.
Also, Noem is a sitting governor. Lake should be the governor of AZ but was cheated out of it. She’s now running for Senate and she’ll likely win (unless the Dems find a way to cheat again).
Ben Carson is the best pick
