共和党爱达荷州州长布拉德·利特尔在周二击败一众竞争对手,距离第三任期又近了一步。

据美联社报道,利特尔在爱达荷州共和党州长初选中击败了七名对手。

他获得了前总统唐纳德·特朗普的支持,后者在利特尔公开宣布连任决定前就已对这位现任州长给出了“完全且彻底的背书”。

多名共和党人从右翼向利特尔发起挑战,其中包括退休警官马克·菲茨帕特里克。这位知名度较低的候选人因针对耶稣基督后期圣徒教会成员的言论遭到审查,而该教会是该州的重要选民群体。

共和党州长揭露其为何下令学校禁止跨性别运动员参加女子体育赛事

利特尔今年早些时候支持一项法案,对使用与自身生理性别不符的浴室或更衣室的跨性别者施加刑事处罚。该禁令延伸至私营企业,使其成为全美范围最广的浴室法案之一。

这位已连任两届的州长近期还签署了一项法案,禁止公立学校使用纳税人资金支持某些教师工会活动。

无党派的库克政治报告将利特尔的连任竞选评为“稳固共和党”,意味着这场竞选预计不会有激烈竞争。

这个共和党占绝对优势的州自1990年以来从未选出过民主党州长。2024年特朗普在爱达荷州以约36个百分点的优势获胜。

Gov. Brad Little, R-Idaho, is one step closer to a third term after vanquishing a crowded field of challengers on Tuesday.

Little defeated seven opponents in Idaho’s Republican gubernatorial primary, according to The Associated Press.

He was backed by President Donald Trump, who gave the incumbent his “complete and total endorsement,” before he publicly announced his re-election decision.

Several Republicans challenged Little from the right, including retired police officer Mark Fitzpatrick. The lesser-known candidate faced scrutiny over his comments toward members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — an important constituency in the state.

GOP GOVERNOR REVEALS WHY HE ORDERED SCHOOLS TO BAR TRANSGENDER ATHLETES FROM GIRLS SPORTS

Little supported a bill earlier this year imposing criminal penalties on transgender people who decide to use a bathroom or locker room that does not correspond with their biological sex. The ban extends to private businesses, making it one of the most far-reaching bathroom laws in the country.

The two-term governor also recently signed a bill into law blocking public schools from supporting certain teachers’ union activities with taxpayer dollars.

He ran his re-election campaign largely on deregulation, school choice and tax cuts.

Little, who previously served as a member of the Idaho State Senate and lieutenant governor, was first elected in 2018.

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates Little’s re-election contest as “solid Republican,” meaning the race is not expected to be competitive.

The Republican-heavy state has not elected a Democrat as governor since 1990. Trump won Idaho by roughly 36 points in 2024.
