The piece argues Mr. Easton could enter Idaho’s U S Senate race if an unpredictable event removes Senator Borah from contention, possibly making Easton a strong nominee with support in the south and his home county Shoshone. It notes Borah as a VP possibility but unlikely to decline, and outlines Easton’s local prominence and mining leadership shaping statewide appeal.
