Roth Drops Senate Race to Boost Dems | Boise News

Idaho Democrat David Roth has dropped his Senate bid, choosing to rally behind fellow Democrats instead of endorsing independent Todd Achilles — despite pressure to unite against GOP incumbent Jim Risch. Roth, the state’s first openly gay federal primary winner, cited policy differences as reason to step aside, saying his progressive vision couldn’t align with Achilles’ moderate stance. His exit reshapes the November race, now featuring Risch, Achilles, Natalie Fleming, and Libertarian Matt Loesby — as Roth’s supporters pivot to bolster the broader Democratic ticket.

David Roth Drops Senate Race | Boise News

Idaho’s Senate race just got a major twist: David Roth, the first openly gay man to receive a federal nomination in the state and Democratic primary winner, is stepping aside to help Democrats win at every level. Facing pressure from Ada County Democrats to meet fundraising and planning goals, Roth chose to withdraw, praising his campaign’s impact on LGBTQ+ youth and affirming that no office is out of reach.
