Idaho Congressmen Seek Reelection in Primaries

Idaho's two Republican incumbents, Mike Simpson and Russ Fulcher, are seeking reelection in the general election, facing multiple challengers. Simpson aims for a 14th term in the 2nd Congressional District, while Fulcher is vying for his fourth term in the 1st Congressional District. Meanwhile, national dynamics indicate a close race for control of the House of Representatives, with polls suggesting a slight edge for Democrats but many races remaining toss-ups. In Alabama, Democrat Shomari Figures is leading Republican Caroleene Dobson in a critical race for the 2nd Congressional District, which could impact the GOP's majority in the House. Political analysts highlight the importance of voter turnout in Alabama, especially in light of recent redistricting. Former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan warns that dissatisfaction among Republicans, particularly towards Donald Trump, may lead to a shift of support towards Democrats, potentially reshaping party dynamics.
