Kristi Noem is the 33rd and current Governor of South Dakota. She is a member of the Republican Party and has been in office since 2019.
Noem is a controversial figure, and her recent actions have sparked protests and calls for her resignation. In March 2020, she issued an executive order that banned transgender people from participating in girls’ and women’s sports. The order was widely condemned by LGBTQ+ rights groups and medical experts.
In June 2020, Noem ordered the removal of the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. from the state Capitol building. The bust had been donated by the NAACP in 1974 and was the only statue of a Black person in the building. Noem’s decision was met with outrage from civil rights leaders and historians.
Noem has also been criticized for her handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. She has refused to issue a statewide mask mandate, and she has allowed businesses to operate without restrictions. South Dakota has one of the highest per capita rates of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the country.
Noem’s actions have led to a sharp increase in her negative search volume on Google Trends US-IN. In the past week, searches for “kristi noem” have increased by over 200%.
