PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s election-year fight with fellow Republicans in the Legislature has spurred criticism she is neglecting her job to angle for the White House. Noem in recent weeks jetted to Florida to speak at a major gathering of conservative activists, announced on Fox News the release of her autobiography and blasted President Joe Biden’s energy policy as Russia invaded Ukraine. Back home, Noem has faced considerable defiance from members of her own party on key parts of her agenda including abortion, school prayer and how racism is taught in schools.
