This is going to be a very interesting race to watch over the next week with Scott Presler campaigning for Justin McNeal over John Thune's Mike Rounds. Mike Rounds is the Senator who nominated John Thune for the speaker position. Presler says all it will take is for 50k South Dakota residents to vote for McNeal in order for Rounds to lose his Senate seat.

Scott Presler is a menace to the establishment RINOs.

This should get good.

Hey, hey, ho, ho, Senator Thune has got to go.

Hey RINO's, quite being the Washington Generals to the Globetrotters and grow some balls.

We have the same situation in Louisiana, supermajority of R's in Legislature and nothing of substance gets done.

Seeing the unfathomable amount of corruption being exposed every day, the American taxpayer and honest working Americans of all demographics need to reestablish the fact that these elected officials work for us and no one else.

Vote them out if they do not represent the people who elected them.

If I was a betting man I would put some serious money in the Prediction Markets for this race. McNeal only raised $7,800 in the last reporting thru May 2026 and he is pulling 18% in a 500 person poll =/-4.5 (Mason Dixon). For context Rounds has over $4 million raised.

This race is going to be a hell of lot closer than people think

That post sounds more like he is setting up to get Thune out in 2028 . Maybe Turning point will send some help too. Charlie talked out getting Thine out if he kept being a rhino .

And there it is. Now this is what matters, and a positive. Let's get it done SD. We need the RINOs out out out.
