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.
The CNN report claims that Noem spent significant time outside South Dakota during her tenure as governor, prioritizing her national profile over state governance. The report highlights her frequent appearances at political events, fundraisers, and her work on behalf of Trump’s presidential campaign. . .
