Achilles for Idaho | U.S. Senate 2026@Achilles4IdahoOct 11, 2026Source 2 says Risch has voted repeatedly against measures to end the Iran war, which supports the general direction of the claim. No source gives the figure of 14 votes, and none contradicts it, so the specific count cannot be verified. The extracted claim matches the claimant's passage, which also says 14 votes.
What we found
Supports. The Spokesman-Review article states that Risch, like most Republicans, has voted repeatedly against measures aimed at ending the Iran war.[2]
Context. The congressreceipts.com page lists Risch's recorded votes on Iran war powers, but the excerpt is truncated and does not give a count of 14 votes.[3]
Context. The PolitiFact piece covers the House and Senate war powers votes and the 2025 Senate vote, but does not state how many times Risch voted.[1]
Context. The vote count is the claim's central figure, and no source states it. Because it is neither confirmed nor contradicted, the claim cannot be graded true or false.[2][3]
