Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin is reelected over Trump-backed opponent

Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin won a third term, delivering a victory for Democrats in the swing state that Donald Trump carried on Tuesday.

Baldwin defeated Republican challenger Eric Hovde, a bank owner and real estate investor endorsed by Trump. Hovde has not conceded the race, which was within the 1-percentage point margin that would allow for him to seek a recount, based on unofficial results.

“The voters have spoken and our campaign has won,” Baldwin said after The Associated Press called the race. “The people of Wisconsin have chosen someone who always puts Wisconsin first, someone who shows up, listens, and works with everyone to get the job done.”
