Former governor and now Republican nominee for U.S. Senate Mike Rounds.
People’s Pundit Daily can easily project that former Republican Governor Mike Rounds has won the Republican Senate primary in South Dakota. The retirement of Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson opened up a prime pick-up opportunity for Republicans. They need six seats to retake control of the U.S. Senate in November.
A Rasmussen Reports survey found Republican Mike Rounds simply trouncing Democrat Rick Weiland by 20 points – 51 percent to 31 percent. Weiland was uncontested in the Democratic primary. Nevertheless, the South Dakota Senate race is rated “Safe Republican” on PPD’s 2014 Senate Map Predictions.
