Doeden and Rhoden advance to runoff in Republican governor primary, Johnson falls to third

In South Dakota's Republican governor primary, political outsider Toby Doeden narrowly edged out other candidates but didn't secure the majority needed for an outright win, leading to a runoff against incumbent Gov. Larry Rhoden. U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson, who was once leading in early polls, surprisingly fell to third place and is now out of contention. This outcome underscores the unpredictable nature of primary elections and could reshape the political landscape in the state as Doeden and Rhoden prepare for a decisive showdown.
