南达科他州共和党商人托比·多登将进入共和党州长选举的7月决选，而第二名竞选者的归属在周三隔夜仍难分胜负。
这一消息对现任州长拉里·罗登来说是一记打击，他仍有机会进入决选，这取决于他本人、南达科他州联邦众议员达斯蒂·约翰逊（共和党籍）还是南达科他州众议院议长乔恩·汉森能够晋级。
罗登曾在前州长克里斯蒂·诺姆手下担任了多年副州长，他是一名牧场主，在州议会领导层逐步晋升，之后接替这位前国土安全部部长出任州长。
这位常以标志性牛仔帽示人的南达科他州西部本地人在州议会任职16年，一直致力于延续诺姆的施政纲领，将南达科他州打造成全美生活成本最低、营商环境最友好的州之一。

罗登反对堕胎，支持第二修正案权利，并曾与前上司在国土安全事务上展开合作，包括与移民海关执法局（ICE）合作开展移民执法行动。

前总统唐纳德·特朗普在此次竞争激烈的初选中明显保持沉默，南达科他州新闻观察报此前就这一点向罗登提出质疑。
“我不会花太多时间为此焦虑，”这位州长说道。
“看看他支持的人选就知道，他喜欢支持赢家，很少铤而走险。而本次初选有四位候选人，其中还包括一位现任众议员，”罗登补充道，称特朗普似乎更喜欢稳妥的选择。

多登以政治圈外人士的身份参选，将自己定位为民粹主义候选人。
多登主要依靠个人资金支持竞选，将自己塑造成皮埃尔政坛建制派的保守派替代人选。
而汉森则是建制派保守派挑战者，已在州众议院任职十余年。

South Dakota governors race remains up in the air as GOP contest goes to runoff

South Dakota Republican businessman Toby Doeden will move on to a July runoff in the GOP gubernatorial sweeps, while the race for the second contender remained too close to call overnight Wednesday.
The news is a blow to incumbent Gov. Larry Rhoden, who still has a shot to face off in the runoff depending on whether he, U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., or South Dakota House Speaker Jon Hansen make it through.
Rhoden, the longtime lieutenant governor under former Gov. Kristi Noem, is a rancher who rose through the ranks of state legislative leadership before succeeding the former Homeland Security secretary.
Often seen with his trademark cowboy hat, the western South Dakota native spent 16 years in the state legislature and has focused on continuing Noem’s platform of making South Dakota one of the nation’s most affordable and business-friendly states.

President Donald Trump was conspicuously mute in the crowded primary, an observation South Dakota News Watch recently questioned Rhoden about.
“I don’t spend a lot of time fretting about it,” the governor said.
“If you look at who he’s endorsed, he likes endorsing winners and seldom goes out on a limb. And here we have a four-way primary with a seated House member in the race,” Rhoden said, adding that Trump appears to like making safe bets.

Rhoden, along with Doeden and Hansen, faced a challenge from Rep. Dusty Johnson, the state’s lone congressman, whose statewide profile was considered stronger than that of the other candidates in the race.

Doeden ran as a political outsider and positioned himself as a populist candidate.
Largely self-funded, Doeden positioned himself as a conservative alternative to the Pierre establishment.
Hansen, meanwhile, is the establishment conservative challenger who has served in the State House for more than a decade.
