Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD), a possible vice presidential candidate, believes that former Vice President Mike Pence "failed Donald Trump" — but she wouldn't say if she would have certified Joe Biden's win on Jan. 6, 2021. During a Sunday interview on CNN, host Dana Bash asked Noem if Pence was wrong to have certified the election following the Jan. 6 riot.
