Anti-lockdown governors fared much better in their bids for re-election in 2022 than they did in 2018, winning by an average margin of 18.1 percentage points this year.
Noem became a leader of the anti-lockdown movement early in the pandemic. The South Dakota governor never issued a stay-at-home order. Though Noem ordered schools to close in March 2020 and extended that order through the end of the school year in May, the state reopened its schools to in-person instruction by the start of the next school year. Like DeSantis, Noem resisted calls to close schools again during waves of positive cases in the state.
Noem publicly defended her approach throughout the pandemic, going so far as to criticize other Republicans governors who issued what she called"useless" lockdowns. "We’ve got Republican governors across this country pretending they didn’t shut down their states; that they didn’t close their regions; that they didn’t mandate masks, that they didn’t need to issue shelter in places," Noem said last year."South Dakota did not do any of those… we didn’t mandate. We trusted our people and told them that personal responsibility was the best answer,", Reynolds took a similar approach and did not issue a stay-at-home order early in the pandemic.
