Summary
South Dakota’s governor race is far from over—thanks to a Republican primary runoff triggered when no candidate hit the 35% threshold. The top two contenders face off July 28th to decide the GOP nominee, who’ll then challenge Democrat Dan Ahlers in November. Former Congressman Johnson, who narrowly missed outright victory, vows to stay engaged in Washington until January 2027 while supporting his party’s general election hopes. The runoff is now the pivotal moment shaping South Dakota’s next governor. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
