哥伦比亚广播公司新闻预计,商人、自称政治圈门外汉的托比·杜登将晋级南达科他州州长共和党提名的二轮决选。此次党内初选竞争激烈且时常充满火药味,参选者包括现任州长、一名国会议员和一位州议会领袖。

由于周二的共和党初选中没有任何一位候选人有望获得35%的选票,因此需要在7月28日举行二轮决选。

另有三名候选人争夺第二个决选席位,其中包括州长拉里·罗登。罗登曾担任副州长,去年特朗普总统提名前州长克里斯蒂·诺姆担任国土安全部部长后,他接任了该州州长一职。其他参选者还有美国众议员达斯蒂·约翰逊和南达科他州众议院议长乔·汉森。

最终获得共和党提名的候选人将对阵民主党候选人、前州参议员丹·阿尔德斯。阿尔德斯在民主党初选中无对手直接晋级。自20世纪70年代以来,民主党人从未执掌过南达科他州州长办公室,预计今年的州长选举将大幅有利于共和党候选人。

杜登在南达科他州拥有汽车经销商、租赁物业和其他投资项目,他个人为竞选活动投入了约400万美元。在竞选活动中,他承诺逐步取消财产税并削减开支,同时抨击“职业建制派政客”,称该州的经济表现未达应有水平。

初选在最后几个月变得愈发激烈。杜登和约翰逊批评罗登与汉森批准提高州级和县级销售税,以用于一系列财产税减免计划。一个名为“拉什莫尔原则”的政治行动委员会斥资超100万美元投放反罗登广告,其中部分内容聚焦销售税议题。

汉森和罗登为这项税收法案辩护,并指责约翰逊歪曲了法案内容。罗登还称约翰逊——他将约翰逊打上“华盛顿政客”的标签——是该组织攻击广告的幕后推手,约翰逊对此予以否认。

与此同时,杜登和支持他的一个政治行动委员会指责约翰逊在国会期间对特朗普的支持力度不足。约翰逊则反驳称,杜登提出的取消财产税的主张不切实际。

2024年大选以29个百分点的优势赢得南达科他州的特朗普,尚未在此次州长竞选中 endorsed任何一位候选人。

Bitter GOP primary for South Dakota governor heading to runoff as businessman Toby Doeden projected to advance

Businessman and self-described political outsider Toby Doeden will advance to a runoff for the Republican nomination for South Dakota governor, CBS News has projected, after a competitive and frequently contentious primary that includes the sitting governor, a congressman and a state legislative leader.

A July 28 runoff election is necessary because no candidate in Tuesday’s GOP primary is on track to win 35% of the vote.

Three other candidates are vying for the second runoff spot, including Gov. Larry Rhoden, a former lieutenant governor who was elevated to the state’s top job when President Trump picked former Gov. Kristi Noem as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security last year. Also running: U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson and South Dakota House Speaker Jon Hansen.

The eventual nominee will face Democratic former state Sen. Dan Ahlers, who ran unopposed for his party’s nomination. Democrats have not controlled the South Dakota governor’s mansion since the 1970s, and this year’s race is expected to strongly favor the Republican candidate.

Doeden owns car dealerships, rental properties and other investments in South Dakota, and has lent his campaign roughly $4 million. On the campaign trail, he has pledged to phase out property taxes and slash spending, and has railed against “career establishment politicians,” arguing the state’s economy is not performing as well as it should.

The primary had grown bitter in its final months. Doeden and Johnson criticized Rhoden and Hansen for green-lighting increases in state and county sales taxes to pay for a slate of property tax cuts, and a political action committee called Rushmore Principles spent upward of $1 million on anti-Rhoden advertising that focused partly on the sales tax issue.

Hansen and Rhoden have defended the tax legislation and accused Johnson of misrepresenting it. Rhoden has also alleged that Johnson — whom he has branded a “Washington politician” — is behind the group’s attack ads, which Johnson denies.

Meanwhile, Doeden and a political action committee that supports him accused Johnson of being insufficiently supportive of Mr. Trump while in Congress, and Johnson argued Doeden’s push to eliminate property taxes is unrealistic.

Mr. Trump, who won South Dakota by a 29-percentage-point margin in 2024, has not endorsed a candidate in the gubernatorial race.
