Breaking news, John: Republican megamillionaire Eric Hovde just launched his Senate campaign to defeat me.
With Mitch McConnell’s #1 recruit in the race now, our path toward winning Wisconsin’s toss-up Senate seat and defending our Democratic Senate majority just became much more difficult.
The GOP has spent months recruiting wealthy candidates to run against me, and they’ve finally found their man in California bank owner Eric Hovde.
Senate Republicans have even pledged to throw their full support behind Hovde’s campaign to defeat me.
Money will be no issue for Hovde — the megamillionaire has pledged to spend up to $20 million of his own personal fortune to unseat me.
Our race will determine Senate control in 2024, so I need all hands on deck to fight back in the most pivotal moment of our campaign.
Thanks for all your support.
