Kristi Noem Says Mike Pence Has ‘Failed’ Donald Trump

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem continued the GOP’s ostracism of former Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday after declining to say whether she would have fulfilled the vice president’s constitutional role of certifying the presidential election results before Congress on Jan. 6.

“I think that he’s failed President Donald Trump since that day because he certainly does not recognize that we need someone in the White House who needs him out on the trail advocating for him instead of constantly criticizing and going back and ripping him apart,” Noem told CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday.

Moderator Dana Bash pressed Noem, a contender for Trump’s vice president slot, on whether she would’ve either certified the 2020 election results that day or joined fellow potential picks like Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) or Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) in a refusal to do so. Noem said she didn’t know how she would have based her decisions using “the information that he had at that time.”
