Kristi Noem and Kari Lake both want to be Trump’s VP and the claws are officially out
Donald Trump‘s 2024 bid for president and then plugged herself for vice president over the weekend, and it’s not sitting so well with another member of the MAGA cult.Noem called the 77-year-old, one-term, twice-impeached, four-time indicted ex-president “the only person in the race that I trust to do what needs to be done” during a campaign rally he held in Rapid City, South Dakota on Friday.Asked by right-wing propaganda network Newsmax after the event if she would consider being Trump’s VP, the Bible-loving, trans-hating 51-year-old didn’t hesitate.“Absolutely,” she said. “I would in a heartbeat.”“Trump needs a strong partner,” she continued. “He’s gonna need somebody who knows what it’s like to run a business … also to have a wife, mom, and grandmother isn’t bad either.”Kristi Noem makes her pitch to be Trump’s running mate: “I would in a heartbeat.
