Laura Ingraham criticized Senator Mike Rounds for undermining Donald Trump’s agenda, citing his comments about the Senate’s independence. Rounds’ reluctance to fully support Trump raised concerns within the GOP.
In contrast, Ingraham praised Governor Kristi Noem for her strong alignment with Trump, particularly on border security. Noem’s policies earned her Trump’s nomination for Secretary of Homeland Security.
Noem’s record has garnered bipartisan support, including from former Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who back her swift confirmation.
Tensions within the GOP, highlighted by figures like Rounds, could shape the party’s future direction as it navigates Trump’s influence.
