South Dakota is the first state to decline President Donald Trump's executive order to restart the coronavirus unemployment bonus at a rate of up to $400 per week, The Washington Post reported.
Republican Gov. Kristi Noem, a rising star in the party, declined the bonus payments for those unemployed in her state because it never shut down during the global coronavirus pandemic.
"My administration is very grateful for the additional flexibility that this effort would have provided, but South Dakota is in the fortunate position of not needing to accept it," Noem said.
Trump's order diverted unused funds from federal disaster assistance to restart the $600 bonus payments for the unemployed that expired at the end of July. Of the $400 in the executive order, $300 would be provided by the U.S. Treasury, with the state on the hook for the rest.
Republicans had argued even though they passed it in March, the $600 payment would have served to encourage many Americans not to work, because they would get more money than if they returned to work.

.@govkristinoem can take the victory lap on this one... she made the decision to keep her state responsibly open while being called a murderer by the mainstream media and ended up being right. Now South Dakota doesn't need aid from the US government.... https://t.co/y4LonoaWzY— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) August 15, 2020
Roll on Kristi
She is a beauty.
I was surprised that her beauty was not commented on more, after the Mount Rushmore 4th of July show.
Love her.
Kristi Norm for President, 2024
I guess CA and NY will demand the money she refused.
Governor Noem is quite the contrast to the GretchenFuhrer. A lot of the TDS females I read about prefer the wicked witch of Michigan.
I use the title governor for Noem. Goovenair is for the other fools and petty dictators.
A politician who is a class act. Very rare
I cannot believe she has married children. She looked so young at the July event.
I like her
My TDS suffering spouse does not.
No shock.
She’s running for President in 2024.
I think the 2024 ticket might end up being Donald Trump Jr. for Pres., and Gov. Noem for VP.
Disclaimer: This is ONLY a hunch. I don’t even care much yet, one way or the other, WHO runs. Just a vibe out of the blue that I’ve been getting recently.

Switch the roles and you might be right. Trump Jr. doesn’t have the business history his dad did to make up for the lack of executive political experience.
Noem can run on her accomplishments as governor, while allowing Trump Jr to grow into the role in 2032.
That sucks to be married to a TDS person.
Wonderful classy lady.
I certainly wouldn’t have any problem with that line-up. :-)
Republicans have the best women and the best looking women.
Most likely.
