1/ “Ms. Noem is trying to cement her place as the only female Trump ally echoing the former president’s trigger-the-left approach among the upper tiers of potential 2024 candidates.”

2/ “Ms. Noem had a relatively modest profile during four terms serving in Congress and in her first year as governor. By the end of 2020, however, she had gained the notice of Mr. Trump, who was egging her on to challenge Mr. Thune in his primary next year.”
3/ “She has disclaimed any interest in such a challenge. But her coziness with Mr. Trump and her hiring of the hard-charging Lewandowski, the former president’s onetime campaign manager, has put a chill in her relationship with Mr. Thune, the second-ranking Senate Republican.”
4/ “Thune has been clear that he wants the G.O.P. to ease away from being a cult of personality and focus on ideas.
“Thune wants to move on and can’t with a Trump clone in own backyard,” said Drey Samuelson, the longtime top aide to former Senator Tim Johnson of South Dakota”

5/ “Ms. Noem plainly sees her opening as a Trump-of-the-prairie provocateur. In addition to her ubiquity on Fox News — one segment featured her escorting a network contributor on the state’s annual buffalo roundup — she has taken to Twitter with gusto.”
6/ Here’s how I interpret this article written May 1, 2021.
It was written on behalf of Thune who is clearly worried about a Noem challenge.
If Trump runs there’s only one way onto the 2024 ticket. As Trumps VP.
Trump wants her to #DefeatThune.
