| Description | While a handful Democratic candidates are refusing to support Nancy Pelosi as their leader should they retain control of the lower chamber, a top Republican candidate has now declined to unequivocally back Rep. John Boehner for the job if Republicans win the majority in the House.
In an editorial board meeting with the Argus Leader in Sioux Falls, S.D., Republican candidate Kristi Noem declined to say that she'd specifically support Boehner for Speaker of the House because "I don't know what my other options are."
Noem is challenging Democratic Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin.
The exchange came when Noem criticized Herseth Sandlin for supporting Pelosi, who Noem says backs an "agenda that does not resonate here in South Dakota."
"You have to look at who people address as their leaders, who they give power to," Noem said.
