Kristi Noem has been appointed by President-elect Trump as the next Secretary of Homeland Security, following her successful tenure as South Dakota's governor and her controversial political moments.
Noem gained national attention for rejecting a statewide mask mandate during the pandemic, boosting her profile but later faced backlash for controversial comments in her memoir regarding a family pet.
Despite being touted as a potential vice presidential candidate, Noem’s stock reportedly fell among Trump aides after her admission about euthanizing the untrainable dog.
As Secretary of Homeland Security, Noem will oversee critical areas like border protection and immigration, as well as disaster response efforts.
