News summary

With the nomination of South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as U.S. homeland security secretary by President-elect Donald Trump, Lieutenant Governor Larry Rhoden is set to succeed her. Rhoden, a rancher and experienced legislator, is expected to take a more state-focused approach compared to Noem's national engagement style. While he is recognized for building bipartisan relationships and maintaining conservative policies, there are no anticipated major shifts in governance. Rhoden has expressed aspirations for a full gubernatorial term in 2026. Noem leaves a complex legacy marked by her prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic and significant policy stances, while Rhoden’s previous brief national attention came during a 2017 legislative hearing. As Rhoden prepares to take office, he is viewed positively by colleagues for his practical approach to state issues.
