Brian Bengs

Yeah.

Brian Bengs, U.S. Senate candidate.

Viral sensation.

Woo!

The latest expansion could be South Dakota.

where some new polling offered up by the independent candidate shows the independent candidate Brian Bangs within range or near a draw with the Republican incumbent Mike Rounds, who is seeking reelection again in what was supposed to be a cakewalk.

But Bangs is the only candidate running against Rounds.

as a major candidate.

The Democrat has bailed on the race, so it's now mano-a-mano, man-to-man, and Beng says that it's one-on-one gives him a fighting chance against Mike Rounds.

Rounds does have a financial advantage on banks.

Rounds is sitting on north of $4 million in his campaign coffers as of mid-year this year.

And Bangs is measuring his money in tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Okay, so I want to make sure I got this right.

The Bangs campaign is going after Rob...

Shonsberg.

Yeah, and...

It's like, that's weird.

Why is a meta lobbyist working for rounds? Like, regards to the actual facts behind it, that just sounds odd and a little weird.

But also, does it matter? It's Brian Bangs we're talking about here.

No.

How about in South Dakota? Don't sleep on South Dakota.

The Democratic candidate dropped out in that race, and independent Brian Bengs, a Navy veteran and retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, can make this a real race now when it's a one-on-one race.

Mike Rounds, a MAGA Republican extremist in South Dakota, is ten points underwater, and thirty-two percent of Trump voters rate him unfavorably as well.

He's detested by Democrats, despised by independents, and abhorred by Trump voters.

Don't be too nasty, but be nasty with him." Really weird stuff that he would say, and the people of South Dakota are absolutely suffering as a result of Donald Trump's reckless trade wars against the world and Canada and Donald Trump's catastrophic war in Iran.

Look at the latest polling there.

Brian Bengs forty-four percent, Mike Rounds forty-four percent right there.

I mean, that race is very, very close.
