Biden gets 95-percent of Idaho Democrat’s vote

The Idaho Democratic Party announced the final statewide results of the Idaho Democratic presidential caucus held today. With 2,412 votes cast in the Idaho Democratic presidential caucus, President Biden won with just over 95-percent of the vote, winning 23 pledged delegates and 2 alternates to the Democratic National Convention.

In Boundary County, 24 cast ballots in today’s caucus, all for Biden.

“Congratulations to President Biden on a resounding victory in the Idaho presidential caucus,” said Idaho Democratic Party chair Lauren Necochea. “President Biden and Vice President Harris promised to rebuild our economy from the bottom up and middle out, and that’s exactly what they have been doing for Idahoans.

“We see the impacts first-hand, including 87,000 jobs added to Idaho’s economy, over 325 infrastructure projects funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the capping of prescription drug costs for over 385,000 Idaho seniors as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, and a historic $25 billion investment by Micron to construct a new facility here, creating 6,500 jobs thanks to the Chips and Science Act.

“We know what’s at stake in this election: our personal freedoms, our children’s economic future, our ability to make life better for everyday Americans, and our democracy. Idaho Democrats are ready to organize and win in 2024.”
