Democrat Tammy Baldwin Wins Third Term in Tight Wisconsin Senate Race Against Eric Hovde

Nov 6, 2024, 06:55 PM

Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin has secured re-election to the U.S. Senate in Wisconsin, defeating Republican challenger Eric Hovde in a closely contested race. Baldwin, the only openly LGBTQ senator, will serve a third term in this key battleground state. Her victory was bolstered by the endorsement of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation Board of Directors last month, a notable support in a razor-thin election. Hovde, a businessman and banker, invested $13 million of his own money in the campaign and received an endorsement from former President Donald Trump but was unable to unseat the incumbent.
