South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem thinks she knows what former President Donald Trump requires in a running mate.

During an interview with Fox News host Lawrence Jones, Noem offered her perspective on the accomplishments, qualifications, and attitudes a vice president for Trump would need to bring to the office.

"I’m all-in to do what I can to help the team. He needs somebody that actually is not part of the swamp, I think. He needs a business owner," Noem said. "He needs somebody who’s been a commander-in-chief, somebody who makes decisions when things get tough."

She added, "Those are his qualifications, and he needs to know he can have somebody around him that trusts him and he trusts and will fight."

Noem was among at least half a dozen contenders — including three former rivals for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination — revealed to be on Trump's shortlist for a running mate during a special episode of Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle."

"He’s got a lot of jobs to do when you’re President of the United States. He needs to have people on his team that fight for him every single day," Noem told Jones.
