'Your Future Would Be A Lot Less Free': Kristi Noem Torches Harris Pro-Government Stance in Clair Shores, MI

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr During a town hall event in Clair Shores, Michigan, on Saturday, Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) sharply criticized Vice President Kamala Harris' pro-government policies, warning that such an approach would erode individual freedoms and expand government control over citizens' lives. Speaking to an engaged audience, Noem drew a stark contrast between former President Donald Trump's policies and those advocated by Harris.

Gov. Kristi Noem Pledges To Never Mandate COVID-19 Vaccine For Schoolchildren

  South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (Photo courtesy Gov. Kristi Noem/Twitter) On Wednesday, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem pledged not to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for children. Her pledge came after the CDC's advisory committee on immunization practices recommended the COVID-19 vaccine's inclusion in the vaccines for children program. Noem, who was running for reelection, accused her Democratic opponent of supporting mandatory vaccination for children wishing to attend public school. Recent polling from South Dakota State University shows Noem in an unexpectedly close race with a lead of just a few points. A conservative rising star and possible Dark Horse 2024 Republican Presidential Contender Gnome has touted her COVID-19 record in her campaign, including her opposition to lockdowns and vaccine mandates.
