爱达荷州选民将于周二选出未来六年的参议员。资深参议员詹姆斯·里施（共和党人）是参议院外交关系委员会主席，正寻求第四个参议院任期，他于2008年赢得首次参议院选举。里施在共和党初选中获得了约三分之二的选票。
Idahoans will pick their Senator for the next six years on Tuesday. Longtime Sen. James Risch (R), the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair, is seeking his fourth term in the Senate, having won his first Senate race in 2008. Risch won about two-thirds of the vote in the GOP primary.
爱达荷州是本轮选举中三个州之一，另外两个州是内布拉斯加州和南达科他州，这三个州的民主党参议院候选人均已退出，转而支持独立候选人。
Idaho is one of three states this cycle, alongside Nebraska and South Dakota, where the Democratic Senate nominee has withdrawn in favor of an independent candidate.
在第四个州，邻近的蒙大拿州，独立候选人塞思·博德纳被视为更具竞争力的候选人，但民主党候选人仍留在竞选中。
In a fourth state, neighboring Montana, independent candidate Seth Bodnar is seen as the more competitive candidate, but the Democratic nominee remains in the race.
在爱达荷州，独立候选人是托德·阿基利斯，他是一名陆军退伍军人和大学教授，曾任民主党州参议员，于2025年辞职以独立身份启动州长竞选。投票站将于东部标准时间晚上10点关闭。
In Idaho, the independent candidate is Todd Achilles, an Army veteran and college professor who was a Democratic state senator before he resigned in 2025 to launch his gubernatorial campaign as an independent. Polls close at 10 p.m. EST.
