- South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem teased a 2024 presidential run on the day of her second inauguration, following a 26-point re-election victory in November.
- Noem was asked Saturday if she wasn’t ruling out a 2024 run and responded that “that’s fair to say. But there are a lot of people out there talking about running for president. I also know that politics changes quickly and things change on a dime on who’s going to run and who’s not going to run. I want the best person.”
- In the meantime, Noem has seemed eager to pick fights with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, widely viewed as a favorite in 2024 should he decide to run.
