Can Indy Vet Todd Achilles Pull It Off in Idaho?

The army veteran and independent Senate candidate is within single digits of 83-year-old incumbent Jim Risch — a senator who won’t debate, won’t hold town halls, and voted against the PACT Act. Paul Rieckhoff sits down with Achilles in the final sprint to talk Republicans walking away from Trump, Democrats hungry for a candidate of character, and the sleeping giant of independents finally getting someone to vote for.
