WASHINGTON — U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) today introduced Gov. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.) at the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs’ confirmation hearing for secretary of homeland security.
It’s not at the level of Abdnor v. Janklow or Janklow v. Pressler, but you can tell even in this generic introduction there is some animus between the two. With Thune up for reelection in 2028, when Trump’s term will end, a primary matchup between the two wouldn’t be shocking.
