South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has recently been critical of Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz, calling him a 'radical' and questioning his leadership abilities. This stark contrast in their relationship is evident when comparing their past interactions as colleagues in the House of Representatives over a decade ago.
Back then, Walz and Noem had a positive rapport, cosponsoring legislation and speaking kindly of each other. They even filmed a video together promoting a prairie lands bill, where Walz praised Noem for her stewardship of the land and their shared commitment to preserving resources for sportsmen.
