Kristi Noem’s Book: The Longest CV Letter Ever Written
In the ever-evolving drama of American politics, the Republican Party’s quest for Donald Trump’s running mate reads like a reality show script.
Among the contenders, one gubernatorial candidate stands out with a rather unconventional approach — Kristi Noem, the author of what could be deemed the most extended CV letter ever written: her book.
