Kristi Noem Denies Neglect Allegations Amid Nomination for Homeland Security Role

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, recently nominated by President-elect Donald Trump as Secretary of Homeland Security, is pushing back against a CNN report accusing her of neglecting her gubernatorial duties while campaigning on the national stage. Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill, Noem directly addressed the allegations, labeling them as politically motivated and factually inaccurate.
