Noem Trashes Her Rivals In The Trump Veepstakes

Politico reports:

Kristi Noem may have finally gotten a shot at launching the Republican running mate tryout she was angling for before her book blew it all up. And she went right to an audience of the MAGA faithful to do it. In a bid to get back on track from the book backlash, the South Dakota governor on Monday spoke before Club 47, a Donald Trump fan club, aiming to make the case for herself as a “good investment” and someone who would do “everything I can” to help Trump get reelected.

She also tucked in a thinly veiled dig at other prospective candidates rumored to be in consideration as Trump’s running mate, specifically criticizing those who’d mounted a run against him and thought they’d “do a better job.” “Now they’re back on your team, aren’t they — begging for help?” she said she told Trump. “‘Oh, Mr. President, we think you’re so fantastic,’” she continued, impersonating other politicians. “Why would you run against him then? He obviously was the right plan from the beginning.”
