Wisconsin Democratic Sen. Baldwin wins reelection by defeating a Trump-backed opponent

Associated Press  

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin won a third term, delivering a victory for Democrats in the swing state that President-elect Donald Trump carried on Tuesday. “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.” Baldwin declared victory earlier Wednesday after the tally of absentee ballots from Milwaukee was reported. “We’re certainly disappointed that the Democrats’ effort to siphon votes with a fraudulent candidate had a significant impact on the race, with those votes making up more than the entire margin of the race right now.” The “fraudulent candidate” Hovde referred to is Thomas Leager of the America First Party. “It’s unfortunate if the Democrats wouldn’t have put a plant, this probably would have been called some time ago,” Hovde told his backers before sending them home.
