Idaho Governor Says Top Trump Official Will Be in Boise This Week

Idaho and politics--is there a more volatile cocktail? Like it or love it, politics in Idaho are polarizing and the rhetoric here in the Gem State has only escalated over the past few years.

While Donald Trump, who has won Idaho by a landslide each time he has ran for President, has never visited us--a high ranking and well-known member of his administration will be doing so this week.

Could he be coming here to make up for his recent spat with an Idaho rep?

You may recognize RFK Jr. as the guy that Idaho Representative, Mike Simpson, sparred with on Capitol Hill not long ago!

Did you know that Simpson was a dentist before being an elected official? 

The two were arguing over the use of fluoride in tap water, during a hearing in Washington D.C.

According to a release sent to members of local media from the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr will be in Boise visiting Governor Brad Little to 'celebrate':

Governor Little is hosting Secretary Kennedy to highlight Idaho’s leadership in promoting the Make America Healthy Again movement. This event will celebrate those MAHA wins with remarks from both the Secretary and Governor.

The statement and description is rather vague--has Idaho been more healthy since Trump took office?

The appearance will be held on Wednesday, July 23rd at 11:45 a.m.

It's worth noting that at the same time, Bryan Kohberger's sentencing will be going on, which has drawn in media outlets from around the country and the world. There will be lots of eyes on Boise for various reasons, this week.
