Kristi Noem tries to make VP comeback as Trump running mate search narrows

Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) implored former President Donald Trump to consider the appeal of a female vice president, an attempt at boosting her profile after multiple scandals hurt her stock as a running mate.

“All the polls tell him in swing states that a woman on the ticket helps him win. The polls just say that,” Noem said on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday.

“One in 4 Republican women haven’t made up their minds because they want to have a woman talking to them about the issues they care about, and women aren’t monolithic,” Noem continued. “They don’t care about just one issue.”
