Idaho Republicans to expand supermajority in Idaho Legislature

As part of Tuesday’s conservative red wave, Republicans were poised to expand their supermajority in the Idaho Legislature based on unofficial results from the 2024 general election.

Idaho Democrats, meanwhile, were looking at coughing up four legislative seats and seeing their influence in Boise diminished again. 

Based on partial, unofficial election results released early Wednesday by the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office, Republicans were poised to flip Idaho Senate seats in West Boise’s Legislative District 15 and Central Idaho’s Legislative District 26. Republicans were also in position to flip Idaho House of Representatives seats in District 26 and Bannock County’s District 29.
