Idaho Gov. Brad Little has won a Republican primary challenge from his lieutenant governor, Janice McGeachin. McGeachin, who was backed by Donald Trump, targeted far-right voters and delivered a taped speech at a white nationalist gathering.
The intraparty contest between Little and Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin was an example of the choice GOP voters face nationwide between established candidates and insurgents endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
Little and McGeachin frequently feuded over coronavirus precautions and the role of government. Last year McGeachin twice attempted a power grab when Little was out of state on business. Republicans are almost guaranteed of winning in the general election as Democrats haven’t held the governor’s office since 1995 or statewide office since 2007. Republicans hold supermajorities in the House and Senate, and Democrats aren’t even contesting more than half of the Legislature’s 105 seats.Little was attending a Republican Governors Association meeting in Tennessee last May when McGeachin issued an executive order banning mask mandates.
