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.

“She claimed to be In Charge in 2 occasions that he left the state”

Lovely

If he wins the election, people like Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow will get pardoned. That’s the kind of crazy he is

He’s not any better. He signed a bill into law allowing rapists to sue for parental rights.

joshtpm A LOT of CALIFORNIANS moved to Idaho during the pandemic

GOP should destroy the gQp in every challenge! Congratulations Gov. Brad Little❣️

A Fracture in Idaho's GOP as the Far Right Seeks Control There was so much disgust in the article I didn't even know what to pull as an example. But Jeezus, Idaho, how can one little state hold THIS much suckage!

This would be funny if it was not true. Openly courting while nationalists and white supremacists. I just can’t believe how far down the rabbit hole the Republican a party has gone.

😳

Good for the voters in Idaho for rejecting this person! Yet ANOTHER person who spoke at a white supremacist meeting?

McGeachin thought that stunts constitute service. I'm glad that the Idaho voters know that service is something quite different.

Another loss for sharpie….

Thats disappointing, he lets pervs/Satanists run wild in the state.

Loving seeing Trump fail at playing ‘Kingmaker’ in his own party lol

Good.

The relationship between Little and McGeachin has been fraught. On two occasions when Little went out of state last year, McGeachin claimed to be in charge and issued executive orders to preemptively block COVID-19 mandates. Little rescinded both orders.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs new law banning protests in front of homes, threatening jail timePeople who protest in front of private residences in Florida can face jail time and fines under a law signed by Ron DeSantis. The seconds before this is ruled unconstitutional................. As long as the protesters are peaceful and on the public sidewalk or parkway, I don’t see how this doesn’t violate the first amendment. Wow, a Governor that actually does things that make sense.
