GOP leaders are narrowing their focus on more marginal swing states as pickups to flip the Senate next cycle. Here are the Republican candidates lining up to take on Senate Democrats in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania in 2024.
GOP candidates are lining up either to replace or succeed longtime Democratic incumbent senators in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. These three states helped former President Donald Trump win the election in 2016 but cost him reelection in 2020.Republicans underperformed expectations in 2022 by running far-right candidates against Democrats and allowing them to keep their majority in the Senate.
Wisconsin Republicans believed they found a strong challenger to the popular Baldwin in Gallagher. However, the rising star quashed that excitement. Michigan has been a reliably blue state in presidential contests since 1992, with a single exception coming in 2016, when Trump won 47.5% of the vote, compared to 47.3% of voters casting ballots for Hillary Clinton.
Other rumored candidates include former Republican Rep. Peter Meijer and John Tuttle, who serves as vice chairman of the New York Stock Exchange.
