Idaho Reacts to Brad Little Winning the Election This Week

This Tuesday, Idahoans all over the state voted for candidates in the primary election for governor.

As you are probably aware, Brad Little won Idaho’s 2022 GOP, triumphing over far-right Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin.

McGeachin was endorsed by Trump, yet she lost by 20.4 percentage points.

According to the Idaho Statesman, this is the “largest margin of defeat for a candidate with a former president’s backing.”

How are Idahoans reacting?

Although many locals have expressed contempt for Little over the years, the overwhelming majority of Idahoans came together this week and agreed on one thing:

We did NOT want McGeachin for Governor, or her radical right-wing ideals.
