Idaho Governor Brad Little, a Republican, has declared his intention to run for a third consecutive term in office, emphasizing that he has the strong support of former President Donald Trump. Little began his tenure as governor in early 2019 and is presently in his second term. His announcement was made via a social media post, where he expressed his excitement about the re-election campaign and mentioned submitting his Declaration of Candidacy to the Idaho Secretary of State.

Little's alignment with Trump is notable, as the former president has publicly endorsed him on multiple occasions. In a recent social media post, Trump lauded Little, stating that he fully supports his re-election campaign. This endorsement from Trump carries significant weight among Republican voters, which could boost Little's visibility and chances in the upcoming election. Trump's endorsement was reinforced during a previous meeting in the Oval Office, demonstrating the close alliance between the two politicians.

The political landscape in Idaho is heavily influenced by their connection, as Republican support for Trump remains strong in the state. Little's campaign will likely highlight his accomplishments during his tenure and lean on Trump's influence to rally voters. As he seeks to secure a third term, the dynamics of local and national Republican support will be essential in his campaign strategy, particularly as Idaho's political environment continues to evolve.
