The South Dakota Senate confirms Tonnis H. Venhuizen as the new lieutenant governor to fill the vacancy created when Governor Larry Rhoden took office following Governor Kristi Noem's resignation. This confirmation follows the constitutional process requiring the governor to nominate a replacement, who then takes office upon approval by a majority vote in both legislative houses.
