After South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem admitted to killing her family dog and goat in her new book, her chances of becoming Donald Trump’s vice president have completely collapsed, according to a betting market in line.
At Polymarket, where players can bet on just about anything, the fact that Noem admitted to shooting her 14-month-old pointer puppy reduced her chances of being Trump’s running mate to just 4 percent, though below 10 percent. lucky she had this Thursday, Newsweek reported.
Oddsmakers think South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott has the best shot — 22 percent chance — of becoming Trump’s new right-hand man, while New York Rep. Elise Stefanik and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance – long considered a potential front-runner for vice president – is sitting at 9. percent and 6 percent, respectively.
This comes as President Joe Biden recently overtook the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee, Trump, in the odds of winning the election, with people favoring the Democrat by just over a percentage point.
Noem explains in her upcoming book that she slaughtered her own animals to show that she can deal with anything “difficult, messy and ugly.”
The book, titled No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, will be released on May 7.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem writes in her upcoming book that she put down her own dog — and a family goat — in an effort to show she can handle whatever comes ” difficult, messy and ugly.”

In her book, Noem talks about the dog, named Cricket, that she shot in the gravel pit on her family property, moments before her children came home from school.
The dog, Noem claimed, had an “aggressive personality” that could not be tamed – as evidenced by the fact that Cricket ruined a pheasant hunt because he was “crazy with excitement, chasing all these birds and running away.” fun with her.” life.’
Additionally, when the governor of South Dakota took Cricket with her to meet a local family, the dog began killing the family’s chickens like “a trained assassin.”
According to a book extract obtained by the Guardian, Cricket would “catch one chicken at a time, crunch it to death in one bite, then drop it to attack another.”
As former President Donald Trump considers who should become his vice president, Noem has written a new book, No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, which will be released on May 7.
When Noem finally caught the dog, she wrote that Cricket “turned around to bite me.”
Cricket was “the picture of pure joy”. Meanwhile, the owner of the chickens was crying.
Noem said she wrote a check “for the price they asked and helped them dispose of the carcasses that littered the crime scene.”
“I hated that dog,” Noem wrote, believing the 14-month-old dog to be “untrainable,” “dangerous to anyone she comes into contact with,” and “less than worthless…as a dog.” hunting”.
So she decided to kill Cricket.
“At that time,” the governor wrote. “I realized I had to put her down.”
She shot Cricket in the family gravel pit.
“It wasn’t a pleasant job,” Noem said, “but it had to be done. And once it was over, I realized I had to do another unpleasant job.
Noem also decided to get rid of the family goat because he was “mean and nasty”, as he remained unneutered and smelled “disgusting, musky (and) rancid” and “liked to chase” the governor’s children.
She also “dragged him to the gravel pit”, but the goat jumped while she tried to shoot him, briefly leaving him alive.
Noem said she had to return to her truck and get another shell, then “hurried back to the gravel pit and dropped it off.”

Her actions were observed, she said, by a construction crew working nearby.
A few moments later, the bus dropped off her children.
“Kennedy looked around, confused,” Noem recalled of her daughter, who asked, “Hey, where’s Cricket?”
Noem then admitted, “I guess if I was a better politician, I wouldn’t be telling this story here.”
On Friday, the Internet was abuzz with reactions to his story.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, a vocal Trump critic and former White House communications director, wrote on
“I’m a dog lover and I’m honestly horrified by Kristi Noem’s snippet. I wish I hadn’t even read it. A 14 month old dog is still a puppy and can be trained.
“Much of bad behavior in dogs is due to lack of proper training on the part of the humans responsible for it,” Griffin wrote.

Rick Wilson (pictured) said Noem killed her 14-month-old dog because “she was lazy about training bird dogs, not because she was a bad dog.”
Rick Wilson, one of the co-founders of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, called Noem “trash.”
“Decades with hunting dogs and bird dogs, and the number I’ve killed because they were very sharp or had too much prey is ZERO,” he noted.
“Puppies need slow exposure to birds and their scent. She killed a puppy because she was lazy training bird dogs, not because it was a bad dog. Not all dogs are destined for the field, but 99.9 percent of them can be trained or taken home,” he said. “We have one now that’s never been on the field, but I didn’t kill her. She sleeps on the sofa.
Wilson said old dogs, injured dogs and sick dogs should be humanely put down “not by shooting them and throwing them in a gravel pit.”
“Unsportsmanlike and deliberately cruel…but she wrote this to prove that cruelty is the point,” Wilson said.
