Will Kristi Noem run for president in 2024?
Noem has repeatedly said that she's not interested in running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
However, that hasn't stopped conservatives from sparking rumors about her potential candidacy, and the South Dakota governor has been at the center of early GOP White House hopefuls for 2024.
Noem is interested in joining the Donald Trump campaign, revealing in a September 7, 2023, interview with Newsmax that she would "absolutely" consider becoming the 45th president's running mate in the 2024 presidential election.
When asked how she would respond if asked to become Trump’s running mate, Noem told Newsmax's National Report that "it's early to be having these conversations."
She continued: "Obviously, President Trump is doing very well in the Republican primary. I don't see how anybody else can beat him and I've supported him in this race because he's the best one to lead our country.
"We don't have to guess what kind of decisions he would make. We've seen his strong leadership in national security issues and also taking care of families here at home. … Certainly, he'd be 1,000 times better than [President] Joe Biden and how he is devastating our country right now."
She continued: "I think anybody that is asked to step up during these challenging times should consider it.
"Everybody needs to look at what they can do to play a role in leading a life of significance. That's really going to make a huge difference for our kids and our grandkids.
"So, great Americans who cherish their freedom and want to continue to live in liberty, they need to consider anything they're asked to do."
After saying that she would "absolutely" consider becoming Trump's running mate, she continued: "Yeah. I mean, I would in a heartbeat.
"Just because, you know, you respect the position and the person who asks you to do something and then see if you really believe that you could make a difference.

"President Trump needs a strong partner if he's going to take back the White House, he's going to need somebody who knows what it's like to run a business, to be an employee, earn a paycheck, but also having a wife, mom, and a grandma isn't bad, either.
"And I think that that kind of perspective would weigh in very well on a lot of policy decisions."
