Don’t expect a presidential run from Kristi Noem while Donald Trump is in the race.

The second-term Republican governor Monday morning said as much when asked during an interview with a Watertown radio station if the Dakotas might send two candidates to compete in the 2024 presidential election.

“President Trump is in the race and right now I don’t see a path for victory with anybody else with him in the race and the situation as it sits today,” Noem said when asked by KWAT News if she’d be endorsing North Dakota Gov. Douglas Burgum, who threw his hat into the race earlier this month.
