Kristi Noem Says Trump Needs Someone Like Her as VP
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem says Donald Trump needs to pick someone who “tells him the truth” as his 2024 running mate—someone just like her.
Noem made the remarks in an interview with NBC News on Thursday, telling a reporter that Trump should seek out a vice presidential candidate “who tells him the truth. Honestly, the people that are my closest advisers… tell me stuff I don’t want to hear sometimes. You know, I need to be teachable. As a leader, you need to learn and listen to your advisers and make a decision and then you take action on it.”
“He needs people around him that are advising him that will tell him the truth and have America’s best interests at heart,” she said. Asked if she had the qualities listed, she said: “Oh, yeah. But I can think of a lot of people that have those qualities. But yeah, I’ve been very honest with the president ever since I’ve known him. We have a great relationship.”
