决策台总部（Decision Desk HQ）预测，爱达荷州参议员吉姆·里施（Jim Risch，共和党）已赢得第四个任期，将继续留任国会山。
Idaho Sen. Jim Risch (R) has won a fourth term on Capitol Hill, Decision Desk HQ projects.
作为参议院外交关系委员会主席，里施击败了独立候选人托德·阿基利斯（Todd Achilles），成功保住席位。
Risch, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, defeated Independent Todd Achilles to hold on to his seat.
这位现任议员于2008年首次当选参议员，此前曾担任“宝石州”爱达荷州的副州长和州长。他在时任州长迪尔克·肯普索恩（Dirk Kempthorne，共和党）出任内政部长后继任州长。里施没有寻求作为爱达荷州首席行政官的完整任期，而是再次竞选副州长，随后当选进入国会。
The incumbent was first elected to the Senate in 2008 after serving as lieutenant governor and governor of the Gem State. He ascended to the governor’s mansion after then-Gov. Dirk Kempthrone (R) became Interior secretary. Instead of seeking a full term as Idaho’s chief executive he ran for lieutenant governor again before his election to Congress.
自1974年以来，民主党人未曾在爱达荷州赢得过参议员选举。里施被视为周二选举的大热门。
A Democrat has not won a Senate race since 1974. Risch was the favorite to win Tuesday.
