Donald Trump has said he likes the idea of having a female running-mate for next year’s election and will consider the governor of South Dakota, who has appeared on stage with him.
His remarks in a television interview yesterday put fresh attention on Kristi Noem, whom Trump has described as a “warrior for American values”.
They came after reports late last week that Noem, a married mother of three, was having an affair with Corey Lewandowski, 49, Trump’s long-time adviser.
A representative for Noem, 51, has dismissed the stories in the New York Post and Mail Online, describing them as a “predictable” attack on the governor after she supported Trump in a rally at Rapid City, South Dakota.
