AINews Summary

South Dakota’s Republican governor race is headed to a July 28 runoff between Larry Rhoden and Toby Doeden. Doeden led the first round, but Rhoden is now being highlighted for his record, fundraising, and outside support. The winner will face Democrat Dan Ahlers in the general election. The runoff keeps the Republican nomination unsettled, so near-term odds remain uncertain. The latest coverage may slightly help Rhoden by highlighting his incumbency and fundraising, but the race is still open.
