Tammy Baldwin Defeats Eric Hovde in Wisconsin Senate Race
Briefly

Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin successfully defended her Senate seat against wealthy Republican Eric Hovde, reinforcing her standing as a survivor in a divided state.
After the election, Baldwin declared, 'Wisconsin voters rejected the billionaires and the special interests... who want to spread hate and division.' Her campaign focused on local values.
Despite a fierce challenge and negative campaigning that targeted her sexuality, Baldwin maintained her edge by positioning Hovde as an outsider out of touch with Wisconsin.
The political landscape has shifted significantly, with Baldwin returning to a Senate now lacking a Democratic majority, while Trump solidified his influence in Wisconsin.
