Tammy Baldwin Wins Third Term in Tight Wisconsin Senate Race

Democratic U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin declared victory in the Wisconsin Senate race after absentee ballots from Milwaukee gave her a nearly 16,000-vote lead over Republican Eric Hovde. With 97% of precincts reporting, Baldwin had 49.2% of the vote compared to Hovde's 48.7%. Baldwin's win would mark the first time since 1968 that a Wisconsin Senate candidate won while the opposing party's presidential nominee carried the state. The race saw over $240 million spent on ads, with Baldwin's campaign maintaining a slight spending advantage overall.

"Eric Hovde Challenges Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin Senate Race"

Wisconsin businessman Eric Hovde officially enters the Senate race against incumbent Sen. Tammy Baldwin, aiming to challenge the well-funded Democrat in a crucial battleground race. Hovde, a multi-millionaire with previous political experience, is expected to partly self-fund his campaign. However, Democrats have swiftly criticized him for living out of state and his business leadership. Republicans view Wisconsin as a top pickup opportunity, but defeating Baldwin will be challenging. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates the race as "Lean Democratic," and Democrats face an uphill battle in maintaining control of the Senate in the upcoming elections.
