Episode Details

Idaho’s Senate race just got wilder: Incumbent Sen. Jim Risch faces a new, unified front after Democratic candidate David Roth’s surprise exit, clearing the way for independent Todd Achilles to lead the charge. With Roth’s departure, Ada County Democrats pivot to backing Achilles — even though he’s not a Democrat — seeing him as the best shot to unseat Risch. Achilles, a former state rep and Army vet, is pitching unity and common-sense solutions on issues like affordability and corruption, framing himself as the bipartisan alternative Idaho needs. With Risch’s 18-year tenure under scrutiny, this could be the moment Idahoans demand change — and Achilles is betting they’re ready to deliver it.
