Earlier this week, Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s self-funded megamillionaire opponent took the stage at the Republican National Convention and bashed her record — right in her home state of Wisconsin.
Make no mistake — national Republicans chose Milwaukee for their convention because they know the road to victory runs through Wisconsin.
Sen. Baldwin represents Wisconsin, one of the few swing states in the country, and she’s fought tooth and nail to keep right-wing attacks at bay and hold onto her seat. She’s beaten her opposition twice, but Republicans are hoping that the third time’s a charm — and they plan to buy their way to victory.
What’s more — it’s working. For the first time in this Wisconsin Senate race, her opponent’s campaign is reporting a new poll that shows him in the lead.
