I like Noem, but I don’t want a VP that checks off the woman or POC box. Merit or not, it reeks of tokenism.

He should pick Vivek.

Sanders in Arkansas would be better but Noem is the “Smoke Show”.

See if you can track down a video of Noem’s speech at the July 4th event with Trump at Mount Rushmore in 2020. That’s when I first predicted that she’d have a bright future in national politics.

She checks off a lot more boxes than her gender. She’s a capable governor who also served in Congress. She’s cute as hell. Her rural upbringing is a good balance for Trump’s New York City big-mouth persona.

And you can never, ever go wrong with a rancher’s daughter from a Great Plains state. :-)
