Just as Bedrock Press was about to close the books on South Dakota’s Senate Race, a member of the Democrats has stepped forth to challenge incumbent Senator Thune (R):
It’s official! I am the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in South Dakota!
One person is not entitled to a U.S. Senate seat for a quarter-century. I will hold Thune accountable for his votes that hurt the middle class.

I can’t say much good about announcing one’s candidacy on one of the crappiest social platforms on the Web, but Ballotpedia confirms the nomination.
And, you know what? There’s one serious question that comes to mind here:
Would former President Trump, who reportedly hates Senator Thune, endorse Bengs? What would the South Dakota GOP base make of that?
