Incumbent Sen. Jim Risch's longstanding popularity in Idaho, bolstered by superior fundraising and endorsements from key Republican figures, underpins trader consensus pricing him at 96.5% to win the GOP Senate primary. Recent polls, including a May 2024 survey showing Risch leading challenger Joe Evans by over 60 points, reflect his dominance amid low challenger visibility—Evans, a local businessman, has struggled with name recognition and resources. This incumbency edge aligns with historical base rates where Idaho GOP senators routinely exceed 70% in primaries. Realistic challenges include a late scandal hitting Risch or unexpected conservative turnout surges for Evans, though Idaho's May 21 primary looms with little momentum shift evident.
