Incumbent Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin has been reelected to the U.S. Senate in Wisconsin, defeating Republican businessman and banker Eric Hovde in a tight race. Multiple news organizations, including the Associated Press, NBC News, Fox News, CBS News, and CNN, have projected her victory. Baldwin's win secures her a third term and represents a significant hold for Democrats in the critical swing state that President-elect Donald Trump carried on Tuesday. Her victory helps Democrats retain a crucial seat in an otherwise challenging election. Baldwin is notable for being the only openly LGBTQ senator.
