Today, Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s far-right opponent — Eric Hovde — will become the official Republican nominee in Wisconsin’s primary elections.
Control of the Senate could come down to Tammy Baldwin’s race. After Wisconsin’s primary, the fight to protect the Democratic Senate majority in the general election kicks into high gear.
Tammy 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.
