Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin will win reelection in Wisconsin, CNN projects

CNN  

CNN — Sen. Tammy Baldwin will win reelection in Wisconsin, CNN projects, in a victory for Senate Democrats trying to defend the so-called blue wall states despite losing them at the presidential level and having already lost their majority in the chamber. Baldwin is projected defeat Republican Eric Hovde in a race that attracted a late flurry of attention after initially appearing less competitive than a few other states where Democrats were on defense. For much of the race, Hovde had a defensive posture on air responding to Democratic attacks – trying to lay out his Wisconsin roots or call out Baldwin’s spots for being “nasty.” But the GOP nominee – whose campaign underwent an early fall shake-up – also tried to nationalize the race, attempting to tie Baldwin to President Joe Biden and then Vice President Kamala Harris on inflation and the border. And in the final stretch, Hovde and his GOP allies accused Baldwin, the first out gay senator, of a conflict of interest because her partner of six years is a financial adviser for high-end clients.
