South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R), a rising party star and possible 2024 presidential candidate, “was a natural get as a headline speaker for last night’s Kansas GOP fundraising dinner,” the Kansas City Star reports.
“Then, last month, she vetoed a priority item on the Republican culture war agenda — banning transgender athletes from girls sports.”
“In district and party meetings ahead of the dinner, the name of the headline speaker went unmentioned. Some said her veto had caused them to question a politician they previously viewed as a strong voice.”
