Calls Grow for Kristi Noem to Challenge John Thune in 2028 Senate Primary(March 5)

After Trump's Thursday announcement praising her border security work, including what Noem called the 'most secure border in American history' and $13 billion in taxpayer savings, online conservatives urged her to primary Thune in South Dakota's 2028 race. Critics label Thune disloyal with a 51% Liberty Score and past bipartisan moves, while figures like radio host Jeff Kuhner predict Noem would crush him thanks to her MAGA ties and home-state popularity. Noem has stayed silent on any Senate bid, and with Thune's $20 million war chest and strong approvals, the talk remains early speculation amid GOP tensions.

The problem in getting rid of her is RCV. It exists to tilt the playing field toward incumbents.

You don’t remember what they did to Sarah Palin?

Sorry Barbi but we don’t want you.

Something tells me a successful businessman in SD should run and be there as an alternative when the primary comes. Either Thune wakes up like Cornyn(too late) or he drops out(unlikely). SD should remain red no matter who runs.
