Episode Details

Idaho’s Senate race just flipped on its head: Democratic candidate David Roth dropped out, leaving incumbent Republican Jim Risch to face independent Todd Achilles — a former Democrat betting his outsider status will win over voters tired of partisan gridlock. With polls showing Roth trailing badly and national Democratic momentum waning, Achilles is seizing the moment, spotlighting housing and healthcare affordability as nonpartisan priorities that resonate with everyday Idahoans. His campaign promises no party loyalty if elected — but his message hits close to home for families struggling to pay bills or start a family. The race now hinges on who best speaks to voters’ economic anxieties, turning a political shake-up into a potential turning point for the state.
