BREAKING: President Trump endorses Idaho education choice bill

The Idaho Senate will likely vote this week on final passage of an education choice bill that has now been endorsed by President Donald Trump.

In a Sunday afternoon tweet on Truth Social, the president gave his full backing to a bill introduced by Senators Lori Den Hartog, Scott Grow, Representatives Wendy Horman and Jason Monks, that would provide families with a tax credit of up to $5,000 for education expenses.

H93 has already passed the House of Representatives in Idaho, and has been approved by an Idaho Senate committee, paving the way for a full Senate vote this week.

"This bill, which has my complete and total support, must pass," the president wrote.

MSPC President Chris Cargill was asked to testify numerous times on the legislation, which has a cap on what would be available of $50 million, which is equal to just .0185% of the state’s public school budget. It does not take any funding from public schools.

Our exclusive Idaho Poll shows strong support for a $5,000 tax credit, with the majority of Democrats, Republicans and Independents in Idaho in favor.
