Abortion and Economy Shape Wisconsin Senate Race

Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin faces a challenging re-election campaign in Wisconsin, with her Republican opponent Eric Hovde, endorsed by Trump, focusing on key issues like the economy and abortion rights. Meanwhile, U.S. voters will decide control of Congress during the presidential election, with critical races influencing the legislative agenda, particularly in Minnesota where both parties aim to mobilize their bases. In Wisconsin, Rep. Sylvia Ortiz-Velez is actively engaging Latino voters, a demographic crucial for the Democrats, who risk losing support compared to previous elections. The outcome of several state Senate races could significantly affect control of Wisconsin's government, with Democrats needing to flip multiple seats to regain influence. If successful, this could establish a Democratic trifecta, mirroring past Republican control. Conversely, failing to secure these races would entrench Republican dominance for years.
