Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., fended off a challenge from Republican Eric Hovde on Tuesday, NBC News projects, winning a third six-year term in a critical battleground state.
Baldwin defeated Hovde even as Trump carried Wisconsin over Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential race.
Baldwin was first elected to the Senate in 2012, replacing retiring Democratic Sen. Herb Kohl.
Eric Hovde speaks at the 2024 Republican National Convention.
Her Senate seat has remained in Democratic control since 1957, when William Proxmire won a special election after the death of Republican Sen. Joseph McCarthy.
