Voted nay on H.R.XXXX (Extension of Enhanced ACA Premium Tax Credits (preventing health care cost increases for 100,605 Idahoans)) on 2025-12-11: Risch voted against extending the enhanced ACA tax credits that 100,605 Idahoans rely on. The Idaho Democratic Party stated his vote would cause health care costs to double for these constituents. Idaho has a 10.5% poverty rate, and 8.3% of Idahoans lacked health insurance in 2023.

Voted nay on H.R.3746 (Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (debt ceiling suspension with SNAP work requirements and spending caps)) on 2023-06-01: Risch voted against the bipartisan debt ceiling deal, stating 'Idahoans live within their means... the federal government should do the same.' The bill passed 63-36. His vote aligned with fiscal conservatives who opposed any debt ceiling increase, but would have risked a catastrophic default that could have devastated Idaho's economy.

Voted yea on S.5 (Laken Riley Act (mandatory ICE detention for undocumented immigrants charged with certain crimes)) on 2025-01-20: Risch voted with the 64-35 majority. Idaho has only 5.87% foreign-born residents — among the lowest in the U.S. — meaning the bill carried minimal direct constituency cost while reinforcing his tough-on-immigration brand in a state Trump won with over 60% of the vote.

Voted yea on H.R.1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act (extending 2017 tax cuts, cutting $1.6 trillion in federal spending including $900 billion from Medicaid and $267 billion from SNAP over 10 years)) on 2025-07-01: Risch voted for the bill that passed 51-50 with VP Vance casting the tiebreaker. He praised it as 'the largest tax cut in history' for 'working Idahoans.' However, independent analyses projected $4.3 billion in lost federal funding for Idaho Medicaid and cuts affecting Idaho's 130,000+ SNAP recipients. Idaho has a 10.5% poverty rate and a median household income of $77,800. An Idaho constituent opinion piece pleaded: 'Sen. Risch, please don't strip away programs for less fortunate.'

Voted yea on H.R.815 (National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024 ($95.3 billion including $60.8 billion for Ukraine, $14.1 billion for Israel, and $9.2 billion for Gaza humanitarian aid)) on 2024-02-12: Risch was one of only 22 Senate Republicans to back Ukraine aid, bucking a majority of his party and Trump. He issued a joint statement with Sen. Crapo citing 'responsibility' to allies. The vote put him at odds with the growing isolationist wing of the GOP, risking primary blowback in deep-red Idaho.

His top donors include defense contractors General Atomics ($36,100). The resolution failed 47-53 with only Sen. Rand Paul joining all Democrats. Risch received approximately $558,000 from AIPAC in the 2026 cycle, and the Iran strikes were conducted jointly with Israel.

[statement] In February 2025, Risch went silent when Trump falsely accused Ukraine of starting the war with Russia and called Zelensky a 'dictator.' By March 2025, Risch blocked Democratic resolutions in the Senate supporting Ukraine and condemning Russia. The Idaho Statesman editorial board wrote: 'Risch has long supported Ukraine. Silence on Trump's betrayal is abetting its fall.' A constituent opinion piece titled 'History will stand in judgment. Will Risch stand up for Ukraine or bow to Trump?' noted: 'These days, Risch opposes simple resolutions calling on Putin to cease and desist.'

[statement] Risch was a persistent, full-throated supporter of Ukraine throughout the Biden administration. In February 2024, he wrote: 'We have kept the commitment to Ukraine that we made in 1994 when we convinced it to give up its nuclear weapons... we need a plan of action that will bring the war in Ukraine to a decisive end and deny Russia a victory. If we do not, we will only invite more aggressors.' He co-sponsored the REPO Act to seize Russian assets for Ukraine and was rated an 'A' by GOP for Ukraine.
