In a story from South Dakota Searchlight this afternoon, former Governor Kristi Noem was quite direct about not being a candidate for US Senate in 2028, despite the gossip in the NY Post:
“I’m not planning to run for Senate in 2028,” Noem said. “So, I’m planning to build a lot of fence, continue to help other countries build departments of homeland security and work with the State Department to help President Trump continue to be successful.”
She also expressed confidence in her ability to win if she decides to seek an elected office in the future.
“Oh, I wouldn’t take it off the table,” Noem said. “I may someday, but you know, we ran 13 races and won them all, so campaigns don’t scare me, but I’ve got a lot of other things to do, too.”

“I’m not planning to run for Senate in 2028,” Noem said. “So, I’m planning to build a lot of fence, continue to help other countries build departments of homeland security and work with the State Department to help President Trump continue to be successful.”
I sincerely hope that she does what us best for the state and nation in 2028 and runs…away. Far, far away.
You speak only for yourself pal
He speaks for me too.
I agree with John
john speaks for me, for sure
She’s running, and Ben Koisti is glomming on. Hopefully Rhoden keeps him at a distance.
Ben Kristi is a nobody, never had a real job. Just a weasel, smack talking punk kid that won’t say stuff to people’s face. #whoiskoisti
If she is not charged, convicted and incarcerated there is a good chance her running for office would be met with “The Doeden Effect” at the ballot box defeated by landslide.
Agreed. There’s nothing wrong with euthanizing a dog and a goat, but there’s something very wrong with losing one’s temper and euthanizing a goat in a reckless, inhumane way that requires multiple shots, particularly with a long delay between those shots.
Noem is out of control, and her ill-gotten financial and political gains aren’t going to insulate her from reality forever.
The thing is the dog and goat did not deserve to be euthanized. Neither one was sick just had the misfortune of being the object of Kristi’s anger that day.
The reasons people kill their own animals are generally none of my business, but yeah, I didn’t realize the word “euthanize” refers specifically to mercy killing. Mea culpa.
Women are only supposed to brag about killing their children (wearing a T-shirt that says “Shout Your Abortion” is popular) but not their pets.
grudznick thought you libbies would be all worked up about those fellows that got shot in Minneapolis for not listening to the police, not a dog and goat. Who amongst you has not shot a dog or a goat?
It’s like the fiasco with SDSU’s fired campus police chief. There was international outrage about what he did to his dogs and almost none about what his deceit did to human beings.
I shot dogs that were dying and suffering. I never shot one of my dogs because I was too lazy to train it.
Yet you support killing babies!
I suppose you think Thune is a better choice. At least Noem didn’t turn on us when we needed her. As far as the dog and the goat, I think that pails by comparison to what Biden and Fauci are guilty of. Try thinking of your country and state rather than worry about your own hang-ups.
I disagree. Rhoden was a bad match-up.
Doeden was built to run against Dusty. It was the only way to peel off Hansen voters.
Doeden would have done much better running against DC. Most people are happy with SD. There are problems, but we don’t need to throw the kitchen sink out.
Noem running for Federal office gets her 45% instantly.
I don’t think she can get 51%, but she will be a force.
Oh Doeden was sure built to run against Dusty all right. Tobes might have garnered a commanding 35 percent of the primary voters instead of the 29 percent against Rhoden lmao beam me up Scotty.
What crime did she commit?
Can you imagine what she will look like in 2028?
Skeletor?
I was thinking Donatella Versace, but Skeletor works
Her statue reminds me that the missing horses ass is still in the White House
I saw a horses ass.
Thankfully the voters didn’t buy the horse apples that you guys were selling.
It looks to us as if Doeden is back to what he enjoys being bully. He is insulting commentors that question his posts or stances or blocking them. It’s likely his paid out of state handlers with shady pasts are long gone unable to put lipstick on this pig. Tobes is happy back in his mud and manure pit.
