SD sure is strange
I'm remembering back when they got rid of Daschle, lol
The Natl Democrat Party got far more progressive than SD would agree with and Daschle was out there as the mouthpiece
Now Thune, I guess his colors have just taken longer to reveal
They had some weirdness on the transgender issue too. I think I remember a few years back, they had a Republican majority in both legislative chambers and they sent a law banning youth gender transitions to a Republican governor who vetoed it. It turns out they have a fairly powerful pharmaceutical lobby in the state that didn't want the ban.
Maybe I'm thinking of North Dakota. Also, I probably can't find the article/podcast that talked about it.
In any event, Thune has to go. I'm sure he has an entrenched political machine like Harry Reid did in Nevada.
Yes that was a few years back. Noem vetoed it. Her chief of staff was in tight with big pharma. Sure she got some kickbacks for the veto also.
