Idaho Primary Elections
During the 2016 Idaho primary, Trump finished in a disappointing second place, behind only Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.
After legislators in Idaho decided to cancel the presidential primary on March 12, a presidential caucus was conducted this year. Despite lawmakers' best efforts, they decided against shifting the presidential primary to May 21 in order to align it with the scheduled primaries for state and municipal elections.
On May 23, Idaho's Democratic Party will have its presidential caucuses.
