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

Posted on 05/20/2026 11:03:14 AM PDT by DIRTYSECRET

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. This story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time. Grok can make mistakes, verify its outputs.

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?

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.

Modern white middle and upper middle class gals have been really brainwashed
I see it daily
My sons deal with it
My girls missed it thankfully

Girls hook up way too casual

It’s the lack of spiritual concerns in the families.

Like a gravel lot fight outside at a rural bar at one am with a circle of spectators

It pays to prevail

True

I swear all I see are attractive girls 21-35

In yoga pants and tanks

Walking dogs

It’s weird

In the fancy condo or apt mom and dad or grands are subsidizing

Germantown Nashville is a case study in this

My wife and I chatting in car before she goes to work

We have a running commentary

Our girls 34-37 missed it and we’re raised different

Parents can offset it

But you got to be culture and a belief in God relentless
