BISMARCK — Vice President

JD Vance

is expected to visit North Dakota on the Fourth of July.

Dickinson Mayor Scott Decker told the Tribune that “my understanding is, yes, he’s going to visit Dickinson and southwest North Dakota.”

“I know that his intention is to be here tomorrow morning, and so we’re going through, you know, security protocols, to provide that opportunity for him,” Decker said Thursday.

He referred other questions to the vice president’s office, which did not immediately respond to a Tribune request for comment.

Other local, state and federal officials on Thursday were mum about the anticipated visit, either not commenting publicly or not responding to Tribune requests for comment.

North Dakota Highway Patrol spokeswoman Lt. Jenna Clawson Huibregtse said, “The Highway Patrol does not provide trip plan information or information related to security for dignitaries in North Dakota due to security concerns.”

Officials from the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation and the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation did not immediately respond to Tribune requests for comment.

Dickinson is near the tourist town of Medora, the Theodore Roosevelt National Park in the Badlands and the Roosevelt Presidential Library

under construction.

Federal Aviation Administration records showed “temporary flight restrictions for VIP movement” in the area of the Dickinson airport for much of the day Friday, banning other aircraft.

Similar restrictions were in place around the Rapid City, South Dakota, airport for Thursday. Rapid City Mayor Jason Salamun confirmed to the

Rapid City Journal

that Vance was visiting the Black Hills. He said he didn’t have details.

The flight restrictions in Rapid City were to be lifted at 9:30 a.m. Mountain time on Friday. They were scheduled to take effect around the Dickinson airport at 8:45 a.m. MT on Friday.

Giving Tuesday coming up in South Dakota

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – To prep for the giving spirit of the holiday season, South Dakota Day of Giving will be happening all over the state, including locations near you.

South Dakota Day of Giving, also called Giving Tuesday, is in its eighth year. It’s an occasion where communities throughout the state can come together and donate to local nonprofits. It will take place this year on Dec. 2, 2025.

Nearly 400 community organizations throughout the state are registered to participate.

“Too often, the vital role South Dakota nonprofits play in providing essential services and amenities is taken for granted,” said Nora Leinen of South Dakota Gives, which organizes the statewide giving day. “The South Dakota Day of Giving allows us to take a moment out of the busy holiday season to show our gratitude and our support for the passionate people and organizations around us, elevating our communities’ quality of life.”

Throughout the state, nonprofits will have multiple campaigns to engage community support. In 2024, nearly $1.1 million was raised during Giving Tuesday.

“The Day of Giving may be a one-day event, but it’s a reminder of the work nonprofits are doing year-round,” said Leinen. “We’re excited to see our participants go all-out this Giving Tuesday.”
