Borah dies. Idaho’s senior senator remembered as principled leader
Idaho mourns William Edgar Borah, lifelong Republican icon, after his death. The veteran statesman, famed opponent of Roosevelt’s neutrality policy and later League of Nations and World Court visions, died peacefully with wife Mary by his side. Borah’s career spanned isolationist stands, strong constitutional views, and a habit of solitary walks in a Washington park. His death leaves a void in national politics as leaders from across parties honor his influence and regrets over future governance.
