Republicans are sensing an opportunity in Wisconsin’s closely watched Senate race. They are pouring money into the campaign even as Democrats insist a tight race was to be expected in the battleground state. Democrats’ hopes of maintaining majority control of the Senate hinge partly on Sen.

Democratic strategist Melissa Baldauff said Hovde has shored up his support among the Republican base and has the money to spend to get his message out, including the outside funding. Hovde has loaned the campaign at least $13 million of his own money to be spent on the race.“That’s one of her strengths and one of the things that sets this race apart from other Senate races across the country,” Baldauff said.
Baldwin has said she’s employing the same strategy as her past campaigns, traveling to both red and blue parts of the state touting her record fighting for Wisconsin farmers and the middle class. This week alone she planned to be in every major media market in the state. Hovde was born in Madison, owns a house there and insists he’s never been a full-time resident of California.
Hovde has softened his position on abortion since his first Senate run in 2012, which Baldwin has used in an ad. Hovde now says he would not vote for a federal ban and that the issue should be left to the states.
