Republican South Dakota Gov Kristi Noem announced Monday that she will be on a limited schedule of activities for the next few months due to back surgery.
Noem, 50, has been considered among the possible contenders for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. She is facing Democrat Jamie Smith in November, according to the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader.
“Several weeks ago, about two months ago, I sustained an injury to my back,” she said on Twitter. The video was shot outdoors on an unknown date. Although released Monday, Noem referred to the surgery as having taken place the week the video was shot.
