Kristi Noem is a keynote speaker at a Lincoln day dinner in Iowa and a fundraiser in Ohio

Can anyone see Senator John Thune (R-SD) making a legitimate run for it?
He'd only be 63 by 2024 and he's majority WHIP right now.

Thune will probably take over after McConnell

“ Senior Trump campaign aide confirms that rising GOP stars Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Joni Ernst, Kristi Noem will all be featured RNC speakers next week.

I definitely think Joni Ernst doesn’t get enough talk about a potential presidential bid, obviously she won’t show signs till after her re-election but I feel that she is overlooked

Bold of you to assume that she'll be re-elected.

I would have thought the campaign currently increasing the jeopardy she is in suggests Ernst 2024 wouldn't go very well.

I doubt, like 90% of candidates that mull runs, could actually win the nomination but being a senator from the first in the nation definitely won’t hurt her chances but if she has a close margin there or loses then it would be automatic death for her campaign
