SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — GOP Gov. Dennis Daugaard says he wants Donald Trump to quit the presidential race, but he'd still vote for Trump over Hillary Clinton.

Daugaard told The Associated Press on Monday that the recent release of a 2005 tape that captured Trump making predatory sexual comments about women was the "last straw."

On Saturday, Daugaard and third-ranking Senate Republican John Thune of South Dakota called on Trump to withdraw in favor of vice presidential candidate Mike Pence.

Daugaard says in the unlikely scenario Trump withdraws, a strong GOP candidate could beat Clinton.

Daugaard says he was disgusted, but not surprised, by Trump's comments. Still, the governor says he's unwilling to vote for Hillary Clinton instead of a Republican.

U.S. Rep. Kristi Noem also says she'll vote for Trump.
