Tammy Baldwin Wins Wisconsin Senate Race Amid Trump's Red Wave A closer look at the 2024 results reveals Baldwin's successful strategy of engagement and Hovde's complaints highlight election tensionsWisconsin's political stage has always been lively, but the recent 2024 Senate election has added another chapter to its dynamic saga. Baldwin not only retained her seat but did so under the shadow of Donald Trump's successful campaign to flip Wisconsin back to red, winning the state by just 28,397 votes. The election unfolded on November 5, where Baldwin emerged victorious with 1,672,777 votes, beating Hovde, who garnered 1,643,969 votes—a margin of 0.8%. "I think showing up matters, listening matters," Baldwin shared, emphasizing her efforts to connect with voters from diverse backgrounds and regions within the state. Given the populist wave Trump mounted, Baldwin's success speaks volumes about the Democratic approach to governance and campaigning.
