"Kristi Noem Launches Bid for Trump's Vice President Endorsement"

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, is likely to endorse him during a rally in her home state, fueling speculation about her potential as his running mate in the 2024 election. While only seven of the nation's 26 Republican governors have publicly picked sides so far, Noem's endorsement would be significant. However, Trump is said to be giving little direct thought to a running mate, viewing the position as carrying little political sway with voters. Other potential Republican candidates mentioned as running mates for Trump include Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, and Vivek Ramaswamy.
