South Dakota’s crowded Republican primary for governor advances to a July runoff after no candidate reaches the 35% threshold required to avoid a second round. NBC News, CBS News, and The Hill project businessman Toby Doeden will lead the field, earning 30.6% of the vote. Incumbent Gov. Larry Rhoden (R) also advances to the runoff, finishing second narrowly enough to secure the other spot. CBS News characterizes the contest as competitive and frequently contentious, while The New York Times and other outlets link the crowded field in part to the political context following former Gov. Kristi Noem’s move to President Trump’s cabinet, creating an open, high-stakes Republican nomination race. The runoff will determine who represents the GOP in the general election. The projected results come from Decision Desk HQ projections and are reported as final, with the next matchup set for July between Doeden and Rhoden.
