Former President Trump endorsed businessman Eric Hovde in the Wisconsin Senate race to replace Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., who's seeking a third term in office.
Former President Trump on Tuesday endorsed businessman and entrepreneur Eric Hovde — the Republican candidate who Trump says is the most capable of unseating Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., in the state's U.S. Senate election later this year. The comments from Trump, the GOP's presumptive presidential nominee for 2024, came during a visit by the former president to Green Bay, Wisconsin, for a campaign rally.
Re-electing Baldwin to a third term is critical for Democrat hopes to maintain majority control of the Senate. Democrats are defending 23 seats in the Senate in November, including two held by independents who caucus with Democrats. That’s compared with 11 seats that Republicans hope to keep in their column.
Wisconsin's primary election is slated for Aug. 13. Hovde is running against half a dozen other Republicans who are seeking the party's nomination. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
